Standardize monitoring in VS Code

Commit your mcp.json to the repo so your whole team uses the same tools. Everyone can run `list_applications` to get a consistent view of the production environment. This ensures that when a developer reports a performance issue, they are looking at the same data as everyone else. No more conflicting reports.

Track violations in VS Code

Use `list_health_rule_violations` to see exactly what is breaking in your environment. The AI can summarize these findings and suggest fixes directly in your chat. You spend less time digging through dashboards and more time fixing the actual code. It turns your infrastructure alerts into actionable tasks.

Manage custom match rules in VS Code

Audit and update your custom match rules using `list_custom_match_rules`. You can maintain your monitoring logic alongside your application code. This keeps your infrastructure configuration version-controlled and easy to audit. Your team stays aligned on how transactions should be tracked.
