VS Code Resident Advisor ra_event

How to: VS Code Resident Advisor ra_event

client:VS Code transport:streamable-http tool:ra_event

Add Resident Advisor to VS Code

  1. 01

    Open .vscode/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "servers": {
    "resident-advisor": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/resident-advisor/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart VS Code.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Resident Advisor'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

Resident Advisor will not start until these are set, so ra_event never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 14 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.
