VS Code temporal mcp server add_duration
How to: VS Code temporal mcp server add_duration
Add temporal mcp server to VS Code
-
01
Open .vscode/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"servers": {
"temporal-mcp-server": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://time.somamcp.com/mcp"
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart VS Code.
-
03
Ask for something add_duration does. VS Code lists the server's tools on connect and calls add_duration itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that temporal mcp server's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.
Requires agent mode. MCP: Open User Configuration puts the same block in every workspace. VS Code docs
Set these first
temporal mcp server will not start until these are set, so add_duration never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 28 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.
