VS Code Design Lounge check_pick

How to: VS Code Design Lounge check_pick

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

Add Design Lounge to VS Code

  1. 01

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

{
  "servers": {
    "design-lounge": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://www.designlounge.live/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart VS Code.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

Design Lounge will not start until these are set, so check_pick never becomes available.

  • DESIGN_LOUNGE_SKILL_INSTALL
  • DESIGN_LOUNGE_HISTORY

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.
