Implant gives coding agents live access to VS Code's APIs

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

Implant is a VS Code extension that exposes the editor's APIs to coding agents like Copilot Chat, Claude Code, and Cursor via MCP. It lets agents use editor features—Find References, Go-to-Definition, diagnostics, git blame, and more—and modify code through the language server, ensuring edits respect scope and semantics. Agents run JavaScript snippets in the extension host with full vscode.* access, but only after user approval. The extension installs portable rule files for various agents and includes safety measures like a local HTTP server with a bearer token and a confirmation webview.
