Implant – an extension to VS Code that exposes its APIs to coding agents

Implant is a VS Code extension that gives coding agents like Copilot Chat and Claude Code live access to VS Code's APIs and language server features through an MCP tool, allowing them to perform tasks like finding references, renaming code, and applying safe edits. The extension executes JavaScript snippets within VS Code's environment with user approval, enabling agents to leverage the editor's built-in tools for code exploration and modification rather than using basic file operations. Installation is straightforward, with the extension offering to set up configuration files for various MCP-compatible clients and agents.
