Pull request overview
This PR temporarily disables the MCP (Model Context Protocol) gateway connection in the Claude Code Agent to address performance issues reported in VS Code issue #297448. The gateway initialization is commented out until the underlying performance problems can be resolved.
Changes:
- Removed unused imports for
IMcpServiceandClaudeSessionUrisince they're only needed for gateway functionality - Commented out the
@IMcpServicedependency injection parameter in theClaudeCodeSessionconstructor - Commented out the MCP gateway initialization call with a TODO note explaining the temporary nature of this change
Comments suppressed due to low confidence (2)
src/extension/agents/claude/node/claudeCodeAgent.ts:462
- This code block is now unreachable since
this._gatewayis never assigned (the initialization on line 456 is commented out). Consider commenting out this block as well to make it clear that the entire MCP gateway integration is temporarily disabled. When the gateway is re-enabled, this code should be uncommented along with the initialization.
if (this._gateway) {
mcpServers['vscode-mcp-gateway'] = {
type: 'http',
url: this._gateway.address.toString(),
};
}
src/extension/agents/claude/node/claudeCodeAgent.ts:455
- The TODO comment should include a reference to a tracking issue (e.g., the GitHub issue number) so that there's a clear path to re-enabling this feature. This will help ensure the temporary workaround doesn't become permanent forgotten code.
// TODO: bring this back when connecting to the gateway MCP server is not as slow.
