feat(mcp): Enable MCP dashboard webview

Dylan Bernardirequested to merge
db/integrate-mcp-dash into main

Description

This code change adds a new "MCP Dashboard" feature to a GitLab extension. The developers created a new menu command that users can click to open this dashboard, and they set it up to display in a separate tab within the code editor. They also made some improvements to how the system handles different types of dashboard names, making the code more flexible for future additions. The MCP Dashboard joins other existing features like security vulnerability details and knowledge graphs that can be displayed in the editor.

How has this been tested?

  1. You'll need to build out to VSCode from the associated LS branch, db/mcp-dash-theming, build with `npm run watch -- --editor=vscode --packages all
  2. Then checkout this branch: db/integrate-mcp-dash
  3. Build VSCode locally using:
    • npm run wetch:desktop and then triggering the extension to build in the UI with the Run Extension (without build) command. Or,
    • just run the build command from the UI Run Extension
  4. Using the command palette, execute the GitLab: Show MCP Dashboard command. At this point with the way workspace URLs are executed, you need to send a message in agentic chat before the dashboard is activated. There is an issue open for this here: ISSUE_LINK
  • If src/browser or src/common has been modified, please consider interoperability with the Web IDE. See Running the Extension in WebIDE.
  • Consider an end-to-end test for significant new features that aren't covered by integration tests.
