Refresh a default "Install to VS Code" MCP button

Open digitarald opened this issue 6 months ago • 6 comments

MCP install buttons are all over the place in their design and wording; ambigious with their CI/CD-badge styles. Meanwhile, MCP install buttons for other editors are bigger and nicely branded.

@mrleemurray @jo-oikawa for design input.

Is this just looking at instances of the install button within VS Code? Or from partners/website as well?

Mainly for partner websites, as in

Các nút cài đặt MCP có thiết kế và cách diễn đạt khá đa dạng; mang phong cách CI/CD-signal khá mơ hồ. Trong khi đó, các nút cài đặt MCP trên các trình soạn thảo khác lại lớn hơn và được gắn nhãn hiệu đẹp mắt.

@mrleemurray @jo-oikawa để có ý tưởng thiết kế.

@digitarald that is a super weird style - can you provide a list of locations where they appear so I can do a full audit?

I would lean into using our standard button component as it's more recognisable. As for strings, I think Add to VS Code is the simplest, but I'm open to alternatives if we need to be more specific. Do we need to consider an alternate VS Code Insiders version too?

@mrleemurray they usually show up on GitHub: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mcp

The blue button is still a bit small and hidden on GH, I find. It would blend in with any tailwind design.
