Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First clarify whether VS Code tools or APIs can replace MCP in enterprise environments, then define the supported integration and verification criteria before locating the implementation.

Description

Hi!

Interesting idea. I have been waiting for this for a long time already. Especially since Visual Studio supports this out-of-the-box already.

But why is MCP needed? Can't it just use/expose VSCode tools/APIs similar to other extension like "Language Server Tools for Copilot"?

MCP is often disabled in Enterprise environments.
