IshRemoteMcpServer with AI Toolkit or Continue extension in VSCode

Colin Ferguson — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 03:02:12 GMT

My request: Can you figure out how to get IshRemoteMcpServer to work correctly with either the AI Toolkit or Continue extensions in VSCode?

Here's the reason: Our corporate policies prevent us from using most external AI models such as github Copilot or Claude. So to test IshRemoteMcpServer with our internal Tridion Docs environments I have to set up a local LLM instance (ollama in my case) and get it running with VSCode. It’s very slow and periodically throws errors (because VSCode throws a fit if it can't see its native Copilot when chatting is occurring even to another LLM) but it (sort of) works… I can start the MCP server and see the ishremote commands in the Tools menu. The model seems to recognize them but absolutely will NOT actually execute them. For example, I tell it to start an ishremote session and it shows me how to write powershell code to do it.

So I thought I'd swap in a more powerful AI with better MCP tools handling. I set up an instance of ollama on a server with a decent GPU, and an LLM (llama2 for now) can now be addressed over port 11434 on that server. The problem now is that there is no way to configure a local LLM server in the native VSCode chat via a URL.

So I tried installing the AI Toolkit extension, which supports local configs like this. Then I configured IshRemoteMcpServer and started the server via the extension interface. The first time, it times out: Unable to connect to MCP Server 'IshRemoteMcpServer'. Error: MCP error -32001: Request timed out. Please verify your mcp.json configuration settings. MCP error -32001: Request timed out. The log file ended with:

{"Level":"Info","Message":"Starting MCP Server","Timestamp":"2026-01-22T21:36:02.1876440-05:00"}

The second time, I get Unable to connect to MCP Server 'IshRemoteMcpServer'. Error: Server's protocol version is not supported: 0.3.0. Please verify your mcp.json configuration settings. Server's protocol version is not supported: 0.3.0. The log file ended with:

{"Level":"Info","RequestId":1,"Request":"{\"method\":\"initialize\",\"params\":{\"protocolVersion\":\"2025-06-18\",\"capabilities\":{},\"clientInfo\":{\"name\":\"vsc-aitoolkit-IshRemoteMcpServer\",\"version\":\"0.28.2\"}},\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"id\":1}","Message":"Processing request","Timestamp":"2026-01-22T21:36:02.2585314-05:00"}

I tried the same exercise with the Continue extension and got exactly the same behavior.

Log file for the second case attached. The log file for the first case looks exactly the same, except it ends one line earlier.uat.community.rws.com/.../IshRemoteMcpServer.log

Use ISHRemote to iterate through folders of type ISHModule excluding folders with keywords

Ann Jensen — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 13:09:02 GMT

Hi,

I am writing a script to collect list of topic GUIDs that live within any child folder of a give root folder in Tridion Docs but I want to exclude any folders that have keywords in their names like 'archive', 'test', and 'exclude'.

$ishFolders = Get-IshFolder -IshSession $ishSession -FolderPath $ishFolder -FolderTypeFilter @("ISHModule") -Recurse |
Where-Object -Property IshFolderType -EQ -Value ISHModule |
Where-Object {
$_.fname -notlike "*Retire*" -and
$_.fname -notlike "*Deprecate*" -and
$_.fname -notlike "*Test*" -and
$_.fname -notlike "*Admin*" -and
$_.fname -notlike "*Delete*" -and
$_.fname -notlike "*Obsolete*" -and
$_.fname -notlike "*Duplicated*" -and
$_.fname -notlike "*Archive*" -and
$_.fname -notlike "*Not in use*" -and
$_.fname -notlike "*do not use*"
}

On execution, I am still getting results of topics that live deep within folders that have keyword 'archive' in them. The folder with the keyword 'archive' in its name is not of type ISHModule and I am not sure how to exclude these parent folders and all their child folders.

Any advice appreciated,

Regards,

Ann

Using ishRemote, how can I get the DITA OT log file contents in a Get-IshEvent request?

Colin Ferguson — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 20:57:10 GMT

I dropped my question in the wrong forum, so I'm trying again :(

I wrote this little PowerShell routine to get the log for a specific event. I can get the detail, but I cannot figure out how to get the contents of the DITA-OT log file. Can you help me?

I tried looking at IshEventData for the DITAOTLogFile event but the byte array is 0 in length.

$targetServer = "xxxxxx"

if($ishSession -eq $null) {
 $ishSession = New-IshSession -WsBaseUrl $targetServer
}

$requestedMetadata = Set-IshRequestedMetadataField -IshSession $ishSession -Name "EVENTID" -Level "Progress" |
 Set-IshRequestedMetadataField -IshSession $ishSession -Name "EVENTTYPE" -Level "Progress" |
 Set-IshRequestedMetadataField -IshSession $ishSession -Name "EVENTDATATYPE" -Level "Detail" |
 Set-IshRequestedMetadataField -IshSession $ishSession -Name "DETAILID" -Level "Detail"

$metadataFilter = Set-IshMetadataFilterField -IshSession $ishSession -Name "DESCRIPTION" -Level "Progress" -FilterOperator Like -Value "Publish process for GUID-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx=3=HTMLOutput=en-us"

$eventLog = Get-IshEvent -IshSession $ishSession -RequestedMetadata $requestedMetadata -EventTypes "PUBLISH" -MetadataFilter $metadataFilter

Using ISHRemote to Identify Where Topics Are Used in Publications

Satoru Nakamura — Thu, 16 Oct 2025 08:23:41 GMT

Hello community,

I would like to find all publications that reference a specific topic (object) using ISHRemote.
If there's a cmdlet in the current ISHRemote version that supports this, I’d really appreciate your help.

I’m aware that the Publication Manager has a “Where Used” feature.
However, since I need to check a large number of topics, I hope to automate this process using a PowerShell script.

Background
In Tridion Docs, there are multiple topics with identical content but different GUIDs.
I want to identify which publications are using these topics.

I have already downloaded the files of topic from the Web Client search to my local environment.

Environment:
ISHRemote Version: 8.1.0
Tridion Docs Version: 15.2

Thanks as always for developing such powerful tools and for supporting the community.

LastLogin data obtained by Find-IshUser cmdlet

Naoki Hirai — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 02:53:07 GMT

Our company upgraded TD from TD14 to 15.2.0 last month (i.e. September, 2025).

I was monitoring the number of active users by gathering last login information with the PowerShell script as follows:

Find-IshUser -IshSession $ishSession | Select-Object username,fishemail,fusergroup,fishlastloginon | sort @{Expression="username";Descending=$false} | Export-Csv <CSV file path>

Before upgrading TD, we were using ISHSTS for login authentication. Now, we are using a cloud-based IdP for login authentication. When I executed the above PowerShell script today, I realized the fishlastloginon does not reflect the last login date logged in using the cloud-based IdP. It is believed that the last login date and time collected by the ISHRemote Find-IshUser cmdlet only pertains to login authentication using ISHSTS and Tridion Docs identity provider.

Could you let me how to obtain the last login date and time when logging in using both external IdP and Tridion Docs identity provider?

I'm using ISHRemove 8.1.0.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Kind regards,
Naoki

Updating metadata on the publication version level

Charles Craig — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 22:47:31 GMT

Hi,

I have the following use case I need to implement ASAP. I have several large lists of pubs - the lists contain the GUIDs, the relevant versions, and metadata values that I need to write into a custom metadata field - FINFAPRODUCTMETADATA.

I've tried investigating IshRemote, but I haven't been able to accomplish this - I've been poring over the help files and any examples I can find here in the dev forum, but to no avail so far. Can this be done with IshRemote cmdlets? Or would it be better/easier to use the API wrapper, eg calls like $mySession.PublicationOutput25.Find?

Note I don't have any issues with general PS coding, eg the parsing of CSV files and such - the only problem I'm unable to solve is finding the correct way to find the objects in Tridion and then update the metadata field.

One last thing I was hoping for wrt to this project... I also need to update the metadata of any pub versions that are later than the version I'm targeting. I'm aware that the Version field is a text field - I can write my own comparator for that. I'm just hoping that someone could point me to a working code example for listing all the versions of a publication.

I'm on Tridion Docs 14sp4, btw, in case that matters. Thanks for any help!

In tridion docs, how to obtain user's name within the execution of WriteMetadataPlugin

Lihao Lei — Wed, 20 Aug 2025 09:08:58 GMT

Product: Tridion Docs 13.0.4630.2

When the user Jack is setting metadata of certain language object using desktop client, how does WriteMetadataPlugin capture the username Jack?

My situation: If Jack sets metadata (this metadata field is Language level) to certain language object, the WriteMetadataPlugin sets the same metadata to all language objects under the same GUID, but it causes recursive plugin calling, therefore I'm considering to distinguish from user-metadatasetting to plugin-metadatasetting, which requires capturing username.

(Given that the metadata field is not convenient to transformed into Logical level, nor convenient to set up a new Logical metadata field.)

Any idea of how to execute dita install command instead of ant -f integrator in IshRunDITAOT PostProcessPlugin on Tridion 15?

SDL CMS Support — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 15:40:51 GMT

We have a new DITA OT 4.x.x version configured and with the new version of DITA OT, ant -f integrator command is deprecated and suggests to run dita install command.

We need to have dost.jar and dost-configuration.jar file to be updated whenever there is any change pushed and build ditaot files.

Any ideas or solution suggestion would be really helpful here

Published file download error

Naoki Hirai — Sat, 26 Jul 2025 04:22:24 GMT

Hi all,

I'm evaluating TD15.1.2. Until a couple of days ago, there were no issues, and it was working properly.

However, it is not possible to download a published deliverable from the repository with Organize Space now. When I tried to download the file, it said, "Couldn't download - Needs authentication."

The published file can be downloaded with Publication Manager. I looked into the Trisoft.InfoShare.WebApi_xxx file and found the following error:

02:18:33.8549 Info (PID 1324:10) 00-57d4643db2853ce50683318b8d6a5251-de43ed2a85c9f485-00 a:AuthenticationTypes.Federation:CloudGateUNO:naoki.hirai /ISHWS/Api/v0/Publications/ByLanguageCardId/2982351/Form?formId=Properties_Update_ISHPublicationOutput&clientName=WebClients&clientName=OrganizeSpace Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.HostingApplicationDiagnostics.LogRequestFinished Request finished HTTP/2 GET sdlcm2-uat.intra.kbt-global.com/.../Form - 200 - application/json;+charset=utf-8 101.3074ms []

It seems that an externalId claim is not being transferred from the IdP. Therefore, I captured the network log using a development tool in a web browser. The captured data is as follows, and there isn't an externalId claim:

{
  "amr": "external",
  "sid": "9DB1BD68FECD174C65A119C5DCD33CBC",

"sub": "CloudGateUNO:naoki.hirai",

}

Since I have to change user properties for many users to enable them to log in with an external IdP, which is CloudGate UNO, I created a PowerShell script similar to this:

foreach ($user in $FilteredUserList) {
$user = Set-IshMetadataField -IshSession $ishSession -IshObject $user -Name FISHUSERTYPE -Value "External"
$user = Set-IshMetadataField -IshSession $ishSession -IshObject $user -Name FISHEXTERNALID -Value ("CloudGateUNO:" + $user.USERNAME)
$user = Set-IshUser -IshSession $ishSession -IshObject $user
}

Based on what I see in the Settings / Users of Organize Space, the External IDs are set to the correct values. But, I'm concerned that this PowerShell script may have caused the issue.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Kind regards,
Naoki

ISHRemote to detect end of publishing - cmdlet Wait-IshPublicationOutput?

Mark Giffin — Fri, 30 May 2025 01:52:11 GMT

With ISHRemote, I'm finally getting around to trying to detect the end of publishing automatically (instead of sleeping for nn number of seconds). I'm using Tridion Docs version 15 now, and ISHRemote 8.1.0.

I asked a couple years ago here:
community.rws.com/.../how-to-check-for-when-a-publishing-job-is-complete

And there was your proposed new cmdlet:
github.com/.../72

Has anything changed? Or should I follow your former instructions?

Thanks,

Updating Powershell ISHRemote script for use with Tridion Docs version 15

Mark Giffin — Thu, 29 May 2025 20:04:03 GMT

I wrote a Powershell script using the ISHRemote module a few years ago, and it's been working fine with Tridion Docs version 14. I just upgraded the script to work with Tridion Docs version 15. The main change was to use ClientId / ClientSecret instead of username / password to start a session. It seems to work fine but I had a few questions to make sure it will be good for a while.

It was written for Powershell version 5.1. Will it work with the latest Powershell version (7.5)?
I'm using ISHRemote version 8.1.0. Is there any need to update ISHRemote? It works with Tridion Docs v15.
Does ISHremote run over an encrypted channel? Is the client secret sent over an encrypted channel?

Thanks,

Mark Giffin

Can I check for an ishcondition value using like or matches?

Ann Jensen — Tue, 20 May 2025 12:11:52 GMT

Hi,

I am doing some customizations in our Tridion Docs Publish plug-in XML settings and want to write a check for FISHOUTPUTFORMATNAME that checks for dynamically generated output format names.

I know it contains a value ABC within the dynamically generated name but can I write XML that checks for this?

In XSLT I use the contains function e.g. contains($outputFormatName, 'ABC')

but how can I do this in Tridion Docs Publish plug-in XML settings?

Any advice appreciated,

How to find all image objects with multi-language set to it, using ishremote?

Lihao Lei — Fri, 16 May 2025 08:12:13 GMT

I'm trying to use ishremote to FIND all images objects in TridionDocs, which the field DOC-LANGUAGE's value is multiple value (e.g. "zh_CN, en_US, es") rather than single value (e.g. "zh_CN").

If I use Set-IshMetadataFilterField -Name 'DOC-LANGUAGE'-level 'Lng' -ValueType 'Value' -FilterOperator 'In' -Value 'zh_CN, en_US, es', the image object with single language value will also be returned, which is not expected.

Due to we now have a large quantity of image objects with multivalue DOC-LANGUAGE, fetch the whole image objects then inspect every object's DOC-LANGUAGE property, is actually time-consuming.

Is there any good advices on composing powershell scripts?

How can I bulk update metadata fields using ISHRemote

David Winnie — Wed, 14 May 2025 09:04:17 GMT

ISHRemote - How to use Set-IshMetadataFilterField to retrieve topics that match an array of values from an LOV-based field

Ann Jensen — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 17:41:33 GMT

Hi,

I am struggling to write an ISHRemote script that will let me specify a range of values that are from an LOV e.g.

I can use following to get topic that matches one of the LOV values

Set-IshMetadataFilterField -Level Version -Name PRODUCT -ValueType Element -Value MYPRODUCT

But I want to retrieve topics that match an array of these LOV values using something like

Set-IshMetadataFilterField -Level Version -Name PRODUCT -ValueType Element -FilterOperator In MYPRODUCT1, MYPRODUCT2, MYPRODUCT3

Any advice appreciated,

Automating the creation of translation jobs using PowerShell (ISHRemote)

Pia Bäckman — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 15:12:16 GMT

Hi,

We have a goal to automate the creation of translation jobs since we create so many of them. If anyone have already done this and wants to share how to do this, it would be truly great!

I struggle with the basics. I do not even succeed to query for a Translation Job. Dave De Meyer as I understand, the cmdlets for translation jobs (ISHRemote/BACKLOG.MD at master · RWS/ISHRemote · GitHub) are not yet developed, right? Is there a time plan for when these will be available? It would really help us to have them.

I have tried something I found on the forum using $ishSession.TranslationJob25.Find but I got an error. We are using Tridion Docs 15.1 and I am using PowerShell 5.1. I do succeed getting baselines for example using the ish cmdlets. I have been checking TranslationJob 2.5 Find but it is not enough for me to understand how to formulate the query. It would be really helpful with some examples.

Is there a way to search for the existing translation jobs, and if so how? Since we have a lot of jobs, I would like to restrict the search with the target language and a date span.

Also, as mentioned. The goal for us is to create a new translation job using PowerShell, filling in all properties (Name, Description, Required date, Source language, Translation template, target languages, Comments, translation coordinator) and adding one or more publications to the job. Getting examples of this would really help us to move further with this topic.

Hoping for some community support! Thanks! 🙂

Kind regards,

Pia

Get names of all available metadata fields for an object type

Colin Ferguson — Wed, 04 Dec 2024 18:18:54 GMT

Hi! When working with ishremote I'm often left guessing exactly what the name of a particular metadata field is, what its type is, etc. At one point I remember a utility buried deep in the distribution folders that would provide a list of all available metadata fields for each object type. Unfortunately this requires an administrator to run for you, and the results are not easily accessible programmatically. Is there a way within ishremote that I could get a list of all metadata fields for an object type, their types (element vs. value) and what their values are?

Thanks!

Manipulating conditions for publications using ISHRemote

Naoki Hirai — Wed, 27 Nov 2024 07:06:03 GMT

How to include a XML snippet into a XML document

Jacob Kirk — Fri, 15 Nov 2024 08:05:22 GMT

I am using XML files as configuration files for my PowerShell scripts based on the blog post found at rkeithhill.wordpress.com. Some of my scripts shares the same settings and I would like to include those settings from an external XML file. What I have done is:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no" ?>
<!DOCTYPE doc [
<!ENTITY shareddata SYSTEM "shared.xml">
]>
<configuration >
<appSettings >
&shareddata;
<add key="motorcycle" value="Husqvarna TE610" />
<add key="car" value="Ford Mondeo" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

and the shared.xml file contains (one line only):

<add key="backhoe" value="Volvo BM 430 Hymas" />

Using the following code snippet I load the XML and print it to the console:

$config = [xml](get-content $path)
$text = $config.OuterXml
Write-Verbose "[LoadConfig] $text"

The output is:

VERBOSE: [LoadConfig] <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE doc[
<!ENTITY shareddata SYSTEM "shared.xml">
]>
<configuration><appSettings>&shareddata;
<add key="motorcycle" value="Husqvarna TE610" />
<add key="car" value="Ford Mondeo" /></appSettings> </configuration>

The way I load the XML does not include the content of shared.xml, but it does parse the DOCTYPE tag, since if I revert to an invalid file it will fail.

So, how could I get PowerShell to fully include the XML snippet, so that loadconfig will find the key and value for my backhoe as well?

I have also tried

$Document = ( Select-Xml -Path myfile.xml -XPath / ).Node

but it won't load anything as long as I have the &shareddata; in the config file:

Can ISHRemote be used to search for a snippet of XML?

Ann Jensen — Mon, 11 Nov 2024 14:17:37 GMT

Hi,

Can I use ISHRemote to look for instances of a snippet of XML in folder of topics?

E.g. Look for instances of <image> element where there is no <alt> element within?

If not, what would be the most effective and efficient way to do such a search?

Any advice appreciated,

How can I check a folder for topics with a given attribute and value?

Ann Jensen — Tue, 08 Oct 2024 11:09:23 GMT

Hi,

I want to check a folder path for all topics that have a certain metadata attribute and a certain chunk of XML i.e. <section outputclass="instructions"

So far I have (what Dave advised in previous question)

$metadataFilter = Set-IshMetadataFilterField -Level Lng -Name DOC-LANGUAGE -FilterOperator IN -Value 'en' |
Set-IshMetadataFilterField -Level Lng -Name FSTATUS -FilterOperator Equal -Value 'Released'

$ishObjects = Get-IshFolder -FolderPath $ishFolder -FolderTypeFilter @("ISHModule") -Recurse |
Foreach-Object {
# find the latestreleased topics for each version
$ishVersionObjects = Get-IshFolderContent -IshFolder $PSItem -MetadataFilter $metadataFilter -VersionFilter latestreleased |
Get-IshDocumentObj
# at this point variable $ishVersionObjects contains the Latest-Released-Version with FSTATUS=Released and DOC-LANGUAGE=en-US

Foreach ($ishVersionObject in $ishVersionObjects) {
# do something per entry found here
Write-Host ("Found LogicalId["+$ishVersionObject.IshRef+"] Version["+$ishVersionObject.version_version_value+"] Lang["+$ishVersionObject.doclanguage+"] Author["+$ishVersionObject.fauthor+"]")
$encodedContent = $ishVersionObject.IshData
# Decode the Base64-encoded content into XML
$xmlContent = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetString([Convert]::FromBase64String($encodedContent))

}
}

However, I am getting error

Exception calling "FromBase64String" with "1" argument(s): "The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character, more than two padding characters, or an illegal character among the padding
characters. "

Can anyone advice how I access and test for a given piece of XML in topic being processed?

Any advice appreciated,

Regards,

Ann

Can't figure out how to process all topics within a nested folder structure

Hi,

The requirement I have is to process the latest released version of a certain language layer in a nested folder structure where there are many versions and each version has many language layers.

I have the following

$metadataFilter = Set-IshMetadataFilterField -Level Lng -Name DOC-LANGUAGE -FilterOperator IN -Value 'en-US' |
Set-IshMetadataFilterField -Level Lng -Name FSTATUS -FilterOperator Equal -Value 'Released'

This works and I have a text file of all the topics with the latest released version for the en-US layer.

However, I want to process each of these topics to capture the version number and value from other metadata.

What is the best approach to edit what I have so I can both pipe to file for logging and also interrogate the topics returned to capture specific details from them to use for other processing?

Any advice appreciated,

Regards,

Ann
