VS Code PM here π
When a user setups up Claude Code from VS Code Terminal, you automatically install a Claude Code extension in VS Code (that acts as an MCP server to control VS Code).
It would be great if instead of downloading this .vsix from a location (or shiping it with your CLI) that you instead publish it to the VS Marketplace. Reasons being:
- Transparency and security - users can nicely see the reviews and ratings of your extension, and you can provide additional info (like verified publisher)
- Allows you to update the extension out of band (and vscode will nicely auto-update it)
- Opens up a new funnel for your users. For example we would be happy to feature your extension on the VS Marketplace landing page https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/
Thank you π
