industrial-information-hub-mcp

This extension integrates your npm MCP service industrial-information-hub-mcp@latest as a VS Code MCP Provider, so users do not need to manually edit the global mcp.json.

How It Works

• After activation, the extension prompts the user to enter environment variables: BASE_URL, API_USERNAME, API_PASSWORD, and ENV_TYPE.
• In package.json, the extension declares an MCP Provider entry via contributes.mcpServerDefinitionProviders.
• The extension registers the MCP server definition through vscode.lm.registerMcpServerDefinitionProvider.
• The actual startup configuration is equivalent to:

{
  "label": "industrial-information-hub-mcp",
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "industrial-information-hub-mcp@latest"],
  "type": "stdio",
  "env": {
    "BASE_URL": "<user input>",
    "API_USERNAME": "<user input>",
    "API_PASSWORD": "<user input>",
    "ENV_TYPE": "<user input>"
  }
}

Security

• API_PASSWORD is stored in VS Code Secret Storage.
• The other variables are stored in the extension's global state.
