VS Code Statcan statcan_cube_vectors

How to: VS Code Statcan statcan_cube_vectors

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

Add Statcan to VS Code

  1. 01

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

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

    Save the file and restart VS Code.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

Statcan will not start until these are set, so statcan_cube_vectors 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.
