MCP Server for Visual Studio bridges your IDE with AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Cline.
Unlike file-based tools, this extension provides what AI agents CAN'T do alone:
• IntelliSense & semantic code understanding (powered by Roslyn)
• Symbol search - definitions, usages, inheritance hierarchies
• Solution/project navigation and document outlines
• Build execution with clean, structured error output
• Async test execution with progress tracking
• Solution-wide refactoring (rename symbols across all files)
20 tools designed for AI consumption with token-efficient output.
Windows only. Supports VS 2022 (17.13+) and VS 2026.
