Runlayer Plugin
Unified endpoint
Add one remote MCP endpoint. Users discover and authorize the approved tools available to them without accumulating separate client configurations.
Runlayer for VS Code
Give VS Code and compatible Copilot workflows governed access to Runlayer MCP connections.
01
Connect
Give everyone in VS Code the golden path to approved tools
Add one Runlayer Plugin endpoint so people find every tool they’re approved for, or connect a single server when you want a narrower set.
Direct connection
Per-connector endpoint
Give the client a dedicated Runlayer URL for one connector. Identity, policy, scanning, and audit still stay attached to every request.
Connection support
Remote MCP and local MCP
02
Observe
See how VS Code is being used
Runlayer uses every channel VS Code exposes. Each one is labeled, so you can tell real-time hooks from after-the-fact imports.
Client hooks
Capture supported prompts, reasoning, local and MCP tool calls, responses, and scanner decisions in real time.

Enforce
Know exactly what VS Code can block
Each row reflects Runlayer’s enforcement code for VS Code: what it can stop before a call runs, block afterward, or redact in place.
| Control | Support | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-tool deny | Supported | Runlayer can deny a tool call before VS Code runs it. |
| Post-tool output block | Supported | Runlayer can block a tool’s output before VS Code’s model sees it. |
| Output rewrite | Supported | Runlayer can mask sensitive parts of a tool’s output in VS Code and pass the rest through. |

Deploy at scale
Roll out VS Code controls with the tools IT already uses
Admins can deploy the Runlayer CLI and endpoint package through MDM, then keep approved MCP configuration in sync automatically.

One signed package, settings managed centrally
Runlayer’s endpoint package installs on managed macOS and Windows devices. It discovers shadow AI, keeps hooks in place, captures sessions, and applies runtime controls. Approved MCP configuration re-syncs on a schedule for supported clients.
MCP servers
Connect VS Code to the tools your teams use
Setup steps, tools, and controls for each MCP server in VS Code.
