Set up agents-shipgate in VS Code

communitystdiounknown

The deterministic merge gate for AI-generated agent capability changes — a local-first, static Tool-Use Readiness review for MCP, OpenAPI, and SDK tool surfaces. Open-source CLI + GitHub Action.

01Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agents-shipgate": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "agents-shipgate"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json. Generated from the captured install method (uvx); the mcpServers shape is shared across Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and VS Code.

02Steps

Make sure VS Code is installed and up to date.
Open .vscode/mcp.json and add the block above (merge into any existing mcpServers).
Provide any required API keys/credentials as environment variables.
Restart VS Code and confirm agents-shipgate’s tools appear.
