The mascot in the activity bar opens the sdocs Projects view: one card per sdocs project in your workspace.
Detection
A folder counts as a project when it contains an sdocs.config.* file or any .sdoc files. In monorepos where detection misses a folder, add it to the sdocs.scopes setting (workspace-relative or absolute paths):
{
"sdocs.scopes": ["packages/design-system"]
}Use the refresh icon in the view's title bar to re-scan after adding files.
Cards
Each card shows the folder name, its workspace-relative path, live status, and the port while running, with:
- Run — starts the Explorer for that project. Uses the project's own
sdocs install when present,
npx sdocsotherwise. - Open — shows the project's docs tab.
- Browser ↗ — opens the running docs in your default browser.
- Stop — stops the server.
A running card also shows the project's MCP endpoint with a copy button (hidden when the
project sets mcp: false).
Server logs stream to the sdocs output channel.
