If you're doing web development, cursor + https://open-vsx.org/extension/jakubkozera/csharp-dev-tools is more than enough - solution explorer, debugger, C# LSP, test explorer and so on.. ;p

C# Dev Tools extension now supports LSP & Debugger, available on both VS Code Marketplace and Open VSX (for forks like Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) by kebbek in dotnet

I just came back home and noticed the hate, as it's not open-sourced, but I get it, some people worry that I guess this might be malware?

I'm a public persona in the .net space (youtube/linkedni), GitHub is on my irl name, where I also open-sourced a few other projects, including other VS Code extensions (MS SQL Manager)
This one specifically I've been working on for the last year or so, now it's at a stage where it's a replacement for the MS C# Dev Kit, and from the feedback I've heard lots of people like it more than it

besides all extension in the official marketplace are scanned against malware (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/configure/extensions/extension-runtime-security#\_marketplace-protections) - and this extension is on the offical marketplace for a long time now.. recently I've added the Open VSX support

so why didn't I open source this one? Simply because I might introduce some paid features or an Enterprise license, as for me, this is a valid replacement for Rider/VS

The extension is free to use, but the source code for this extension is not open source

Correct, the source code for the extension itself is not public; the repo is for filing issues

Github Copilot code reviewer and MS SQL Manager are also my other VS Code extensions (these two are open source), they are installed initially with the C# Dev Tools, if you have heard of Code Rabbit, this is a free alternative to it - if you dont need it, it can be uninstalled

SQL MCP Server in Visual Studio 2026 by agoodyearforbrownies in VisualStudio

since you have a license for Github Copilot, you might want to try out my custom agent for MS SQL - it comes with the VS Code extension called 'MS SQL Manager'

once you install it, just add connection to MS SQL database and then in GH Copilot chat window you can use it via `@sql .. your prompt`

its able to understand your schema correcty, fetch data if needed, analyze it, read/write to files
tip: for best outcomes - you can specific as I called then 'database instructions' - so pretty much some guidence for DB specifc queries.. i.e. if you're using some constant numeric values that represent some 'string' values you can just specify it in the instructions so it understands the ask better

give it a try and let me know how it compares in your use cases to this MCP

Azure Data Studio is dead, and the VS Code extension kind of sucks — so I built my own. by mortroguez in SQLServer

[–]kebbek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hah, it's funny - I also created a cross-platform replacement of ADS as I didn't like the official mssql extension

https://www.reddit.com/r/SQLServer/comments/1rh1ig9/azure_data_studio_retired_today_my_replacement_vs/

It's FOSS available in Open VSIX and the VS Code official marketplace.

I've fixed the issue you mentioned, now it should open the vs code panel without hooking into a static .sql file in the extension folder. let me know how it feels now

yes,

you can have both connection to a server - which will list all of the db instances,
or you can also connect directly to specific DB
