Summary

This PR does two things

  • I added a new insiders-features.md doc in docs/, which provides in-depth guidance on Insiders Mode + an overview of the features that will be enabled when users are on Insiders mode
  • I updated the server-configuration.md guide to include information on how to configure the server to use Insiders mode

Why

  • for consistency with our other config options which are all described in server-configuration.md
  • for clarity as to what Insiders is, how to use it, and what functionality it adds
  • for clarity on which hosts support MCP Apps for our server: vscode and vscode insiders

MCP impact

  • No tool or API changes
  • Tool schema or behavior changed
  • New tool added

Security / limits

  • No security or limits impact
  • Auth / permissions considered
  • Data exposure, filtering, or token/size limits considered

Tool renaming

  • I am renaming tools as part of this PR (e.g. a part of a consolidation effort)
    • I have added the new tool aliases in deprecated_tool_aliases.go
  • I am not renaming tools as part of this PR

Note: if you're renaming tools, you must add the tool aliases. For more information on how to do so, please refer to the official docs.

Lint & tests

  • Linted locally with ./script/lint
  • Tested locally with ./script/test

Docs

  • Not needed
  • Updated (README / docs / examples)
