The Nexus MCP Bridge for VSCode is designed to facilitate seamless integration between Claude Desktop and VSCode by leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This extension is lightweight, ensuring minimal memory usage while providing essential functionalities such as file system access and directory management. It integrates with the VSCode status bar for easy control and visibility of the bridge status. The bridge can be configured to start automatically with VSCode, and it includes security controls to manage accessible paths, ensuring that only specified directories are exposed. This tool is particularly useful for users who want to maintain their workflow within VSCode without switching contexts and need to manage system resources efficiently.

• Automatic Startup: Can start automatically when VSCode launches
