MCP server template for VS Code Agent
Setup
Install uv however you like. May options available.

Project setup is heavily based off of Renae Schilg's work. I didn't even bother to change the project name as an homage although I did deviate on a few things, namely not using Claude Desktop, but also modified `external-recon.py` fairly heavily.

I had to modify the python versions in `.python-version` to `3.11` or something above 3.8 or 3.10
I also had to modify the line `requires-python = ">=3.11"` in `pyroject.toml` to something above 3.8 or 3.10
Mileage will vary... It may not be necessary.
The VS Code `settings.json` should be modified.
Use `which uv` to find the path to uv.
The `"/path/to/project/external-recon"` should refer to the project path, where the MCP server .py file is located (use absoulte path).
settings.json
One of the main differences between Renae's work and mine is I used `@mcp.tool()` instead of `@mcp.prompt()` in `external-recon.py`
Start the server
From the venv of the project, start the server with `uv run external-recon.py`
