Standardize Argyle access in VS Code

Commit your `mcp.json` to the repository to share `get_account_check` and other tools with your entire team. Every contributor uses the same configuration for consistent data access. This removes the need for individual setup. Your team hits the ground running with the same verified tools.

Fetch payouts and history in VS Code

Use `list_payouts` to verify payment frequency across user accounts. Your agent processes these results to provide summaries for your engineering tasks. Your workflow stays in the editor. You get clear, structured data back from the tools without manual lookups.

Manage identities via VS Code

Call `list_identities` to review verified user details in the chat window. This helps your team cross-reference account data while working on backend features. It keeps your development process grounded in reality. You see the actual identity records as they exist in your Argyle account.
