GG MCP
Run a local MCP server from your VS Code workspace so AI assistants can work with files, terminals, Git, debugging, and project context.
GG MCP is for developers who want an AI assistant to work with the code that is already open in their editor. The extension starts a local MCP server from a VS Code-compatible workspace, so an assistant can read project files, inspect symbols, run terminal commands, review Git status, and apply edits without moving the project to a hosted coding service.
Install it from the VS Code Marketplace or Open VSX, keep the editor open, then connect a MCP-capable assistant directly or through MCPxHub. The server stays bound to localhost, resolves port conflicts automatically, and exposes its connection state from the editor status bar.
Local coding tools for MCP clients
Local access boundary
The server binds to localhost, so assistant access is routed to the local editor server.
Visible server status
Status-bar feedback and restart commands make the local bridge easy to verify and recover.
Development toolset
File operations, terminal commands, Git workflows, debugging hooks, and symbol inspection are available to MCP clients.
Workspace MCP server
Starts a local MCP server from the active VS Code-compatible workspace.
