Add Action Shift to VS Code
-

Open .vscode/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"servers": {
"action-shift-mcp": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://action-shift-mcp.vercel.app/mcp"
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart VS Code.

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

04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Action Shift's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 11 November 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.
