What is the SemVer Version Manager MCP Server?
LLMs hallucinate software versions. They constantly fail to evaluate complex semantic version boundaries (like `>=1.4.0
Built-in capabilities (2)
Checks if a specific version satisfies a SemVer range (e.g. ^1.4.2)
Pass both versions and receive the comparison result (greater, lesser, equal). Essential for dependency resolution. Sorts a JSON array of version strings correctly following semantic versioning rules
Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings SemVer Version Manager data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 2 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Why use this instead of letting the LLM read the version?
LLMs do not understand numerical boundaries logically.
Does it support pre-release tags?
Yes, it perfectly evaluates -alpha, -beta, and -rc tags according to SemVer rules.
Can it sort an array of versions?
Yes, passing an array guarantees a flawless descending or ascending output.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
