How to: VS Code Ashley Payne, technical co-founder and fractional CTO get_privacy
Add Ashley Payne, technical co-founder and fractional CTO to VS Code
-
01
Open .vscode/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"servers": {
"ashley-payne": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://www.ashleypayne.co.uk/mcp"
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart VS Code.
-
03
Ask for something get_privacy does. VS Code lists the server's tools on connect and calls get_privacy itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Ashley Payne, technical co-founder and fractional CTO'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
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 13 October 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.
