Description
Hi team,
I’m currently exploring MCP (Model Context Protocol) and noticed that VSCode, through its agent mode, supports MCP resources. However, based on my testing and available documentation, it appears that the current implementation still requires manual user selection of resources.
According to the MCP spec (screenshot attached), other clients may support automatic resource selection via heuristics—or even allow the LLM itself to determine the relevant resources dynamically. This is a key capability to streamline LLM-assisted workflows, especially as the number of registered resources grows.
🔍 Request:
Is there any plan or timeline to support automatic resource selection in VSCode’s agent mode, either via:
• Heuristic-based auto-selection?
• Direct model-driven selection of relevant resources?
This would greatly enhance developer workflows by removing the need for manual filtering and selection of context.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Happy to provide more context or help test if needed!
Thanks 🙏
