VS Code Edge rate_skill
How to: VS Code Edge rate_skill
Add Edge to VS Code
-
01
Open .vscode/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"inputs": [
{
"type": "promptString",
"id": "edge-key",
"description": "EDGE_KEY",
"password": true
}
],
"servers": {
"edge": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@getedge/mcp"
],
"env": {
"EDGE_KEY": "${input:edge-key}"
}
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart VS Code.
-
03
Ask for something rate_skill does. VS Code lists the server's tools on connect and calls rate_skill itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Edge's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.
VS Code prompts for each input the first time the server starts, so no secret is written to the file. VS Code docs
Set these first
Edge will not start until these are set, so rate_skill never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 8 October 2026. It is what
the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.
Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
