VS Code Rhino Rank search_packages

How to: VS Code Rhino Rank search_packages

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

Add Rhino Rank to VS Code

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

{
  "servers": {
    "rhino-rank": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.rhinorank.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

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

Same tool, other clients

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.
