VS Code Unicode char_info

How to: VS Code Unicode char_info

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

Add Unicode to VS Code

01
Open .vscode/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

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

02
Save the file and restart VS Code.
03
Ask for something char_info does. VS Code lists the server's tools on connect and calls char_info itself — you do not invoke it by name.
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Unicode'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

Unicode will not start until these are set, so char_info 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.
