Show HN: VSCode Inline Comments with MCP (github.com)

A new feature has been announced for Visual Studio Code, enabling users to add inline comments to text without altering the underlying file. These comments are stored in a dedicated .comments.json file at the workspace root, allowing for seamless collaboration between users and AI agents like Claude via the MCP server. The innovative design ensures that comments are anchored to the quoted text, allowing them to maintain relevance even as the surrounding text is modified, and preventing any loss of context—a problem often seen in traditional comment systems. This development is significant for the AI/ML community as it enhances collaborative coding efforts by integrating AI capabilities directly into the editing environment. The functionality allows users to add, reply to, and resolve comments either through the editor or command line interface, facilitating real-time updates and interactions. With the comments appearing almost instantly and preserving their connections to the exact text referenced, this tool represents a novel approach to code review and collaborative development, addressing common challenges in maintaining comment relevance amidst code changes.
