Research direction

Start with the Supporting Tools and Services page and compare its existing settings coverage with the VS Code MCP configuration documentation for version 1.102. Document the customization option for MCPs in .devcontainer.json, and confirm the page clearly reflects the devcontainer CLI 0.80.0 behavior.

Description

documentation

As per version 0.80.0 of the devcontainer CLI, MCPs are part of the spec and can be defined by adding a customization option in the .devcontainer.json file. This information is made available in the VS Code website. It would be useful to have this made available in containers.dev, more specifically in the Supporting Tools and Services page, where other such settings are mentioned.
