VS Code Mind the Gates — UK level crossings crossing_status

How to: VS Code Mind the Gates — UK level crossings crossing_status

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

Add Mind the Gates — UK level crossings to VS Code

  1. 01

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

{
  "servers": {
    "crossings": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mindthegates.uk/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart VS Code.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Mind the Gates — UK level crossings'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 24 September 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.
