# Container Tools for Visual Studio Code

## Overview

This is the repository for the Container Tools for Visual Studio Code extension.

## Extensions

* [Container Tools for Visual Studio Code](extensions/vscode-containers/README.md) -- the VS Code extension for building, managing, and deploying containerized applications.
* [Docker Extension Pack](extensions/vscode-docker/README.md) -- a thin extension pack that installs Container Tools, so existing users of the former "Docker" extension are migrated forward.

## Packages

These libraries are published to npm under the [`@microsoft`](https://www.npmjs.com/org/microsoft) scope and are consumed by the Container Tools extension (built directly from source in this monorepo):

* [`@microsoft/vscode-container-client`](packages/vscode-container-client/README.md) -- extensibility model for implementing container runtime providers (shared by VS and VS Code).
* [`@microsoft/vscode-docker-registries`](packages/vscode-docker-registries/README.md) -- extensibility model for contributing registry providers to the Container Tools extension.
* [`@microsoft/vscode-processutils`](packages/vscode-processutils/README.md) -- library support for building command lines and running external processes.
* [`@microsoft/vscode-inproc-mcp`](packages/vscode-inproc-mcp/README.md) -- library support for building in-process MCP servers.
* [`@microsoft/compose-language-service`](packages/compose-language-service/README.md) -- the Docker Compose language server, published to npm and consumed (built from source) by the Container Tools extension.
