Add sqlai.dev SQL Verifier to VS Code
-
01
Open .vscode/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"servers": {
"sqlai-dev-sql-verifier": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.sqlai.dev/mcp"
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart VS Code.

03
Ask for something explain_plan does. VS Code lists the server's tools on connect and calls explain_plan itself — you do not invoke it by name.

04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that sqlai.dev SQL Verifier's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Same tool, other clients
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 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.
