MCP model

The client discovers tools, calls one, and returns the result to the model.

Local configuration

{
  "servers": {
    "sqlite": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-sqlite", "--db-path", "./data/app.db"]
    }
  }
}

Use .vscode/mcp.json for repository-shared configuration. Verify current setting names and supported behavior in official documentation.

A custom typed tool

server.tool(
  "search_team",
  "Search team members by name, role, or team. Returns matching results.",
  { query: z.string().describe("Name, role, or team to search") },
  async ({ query }) => ({ content: [{ type: "text", text: query }] })
);

Clear descriptions and typed inputs help the model call the tool correctly.

Safety boundary

• Use supplied synthetic data only.
• Inspect the server source, tool descriptions, inputs, and outputs.
• Stop at the customer-defined metered-work guard.
• Do not connect credentials or customer systems.
• Session 17 covers organization policy, approval, registry, and rollout.
