msdbctl

SQL Server Agent administration inside VS Code - connections, jobs, steps, schedules, run history, and live job-run consoles. Shares its connection store with the msdbctl GUI and CLI.

Features

  • Connections view: add (with credential test), activate, deactivate, remove.
  • Jobs: browse per server; create / edit / delete; start / stop / enable; edit step T-SQL with server-side parse diagnostics; live run console.
  • Schedules: per-server tree; create / edit / attach / detach / delete; daily / weekly / monthly / agent_start / cpu_idle.

Requirements

The extension ships with a sidecar binary (msdbctl-rpc) it spawns over stdio. On install, that binary lives inside the extension folder. No other runtime dependencies.

Setting the sidecar path manually

If you want to point the extension at a custom build of msdbctl-rpc, set msdbctl.sidecarPath in your VS Code settings.
