Add dotsweep to VS Code
One click if VS Code is on this machine — the link opens the editor and configures the server for you.
Nothing happens if VS Code is not installed here: the link opens an application rather than a page. In that case, or if you would rather see what it writes, paste this into your MCP configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"dotsweep": { "type": "http", "url": "https://dotsweep.com/mcp" }
}
}
VS Code's own MCP documentation is at code.visualstudio.com.
The endpoint is https://dotsweep.com/mcp — one URL, no account, no API key and no
OAuth. It is free, and nothing runs on your machine: your assistant calls this
site over HTTPS.
When it does not work
| What you see | What it means |
|---|---|
| "I can't run that command from here" | A CLI command went into a chat window. Use the connector steps instead — that assistant has no shell and no access to your settings. |
| Nothing to tap in the phone app | Connectors are added on the web. Add it at claude.ai in a browser and it syncs. |
| Added, but no tools appear | Switch it on in the conversation's tool menu. A new connector is off in existing chats. |
| "Could not connect" | Check the URL ends in /mcp and
is https. /health answers if the origin is
up. |
| It answers, but still reaches for whois | Say so once: a raw whois reports a rate-limited registry as available, which is the answer that costs money. That is what this server exists to stop. |
What to ask once it is added
- "Is acmeforge.com free? Check .io and .ai too."
- "What does .ai actually cost to own for two years?"
- "Here are twelve name ideas — which have a free .com?"
Another client
- Claude — claude.ai, the desktop app and the phone apps — a custom connector
- Claude Code — one terminal command, or the skill instead of the server
- Cursor — one click, or the same JSON as every other editor
- Codex — two lines in config.toml
- Any MCP client — Windsurf, Zed, Claude Desktop and anything else that speaks MCP
