VS Code Wayback get_capture_count

How to: VS Code Wayback get_capture_count

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

Add Wayback to VS Code

  1. 01

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

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

    Save the file and restart VS Code.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

Wayback will not start until these are set, so get_capture_count 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.
