Description
### Description
Context & Current Limitation
Microsoft recently released the official remote Microsoft Learn MCP server ([https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp](https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp)), which allows external AI agents and clients to query general documentation over Streamable HTTP.
However, canonical VS Code documentation—specifically the core editor docs, configuration guides, and Extension API schemas—is hosted separately on code.visualstudio.com (backed by the microsoft/vscode-docs repository). Currently, developers building or using third-party MCP clients (such as external coding agents or CLI tools) must rely on community web scrapers or locally cloning markdown repositories to give their models accurate VS Code context.
Question / Feature Request
Now that Microsoft has released the official Microsoft Learn MCP server ([learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp](https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp)) for querying general documentation, is there an official remote MCP endpoint available or planned specifically for core VS Code documentation ([code.visualstudio.com/docs](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs)) and extension API guides?
