Share team requirements via VS Code Copilot

The `get_note` tool lets VS Code Copilot retrieve shared product specifications from your Amplenote workspace. By committing this MCP Server config to your repository, the editor can instantly pull project requirements or search team documentation with `search_notes`. Developers get immediate access to shared technical guides right inside their chat pane. This eliminates the friction of hunting down documentation links during active development cycles.

Manage project tickets in your editor

The `list_tasks` tool displays your Amplenote project tasks directly inside the VS Code Copilot sidebar. The MCP integration uses this tool to show your current backlog and calls `get_task` to inspect specific ticket details before you start coding. As you complete features, tell the agent to update your workspace. It runs `update_task` to check off completed items, ensuring your product manager sees live progress without you sending a status update.

Update documentation from VS Code Copilot

The `create_note` tool lets VS Code Copilot write technical architecture documentation straight to your Amplenote workspace. The agent calls this tool to draft new system overviews or runs `update_note` to append code snippets to existing guides. To keep your workspace clean, the agent can run `get_note_actions` to verify file permissions or `delete_note` to remove deprecated specification files. It automates your team's knowledge management.
