Share B5 Arena telemetry across your team

The `get_match_scoreboard` tool pulls detailed competitive match logs into your shared team workspace. VS Code Copilot accesses this telemetry to help your team build collaborative match analysis tools. By committing the configuration to your repository, every developer instantly gets access to the same match datasets. This keeps your team aligned without requiring individual API keys.

Track player directories via VS Code Copilot MCP Server

Finding specific user profiles is handled by the `search_user` tool. VS Code Copilot uses this data to help you build search indexing tools and player profile cards. Your agent pulls real account summaries using `get_user_data` to populate your code templates. You build profiles based on actual player statistics rather than dummy text.

Audit competitive bans and active events

Security audits rely on the `get_ban_list` tool to retrieve the global anti-cheat ban feed via this active MCP toolset. Your team uses this feed to test moderation systems and auto-flagging scripts. Running `get_event_list` allows your agent to fetch active promotional drops. You can write event-tracking features that react to real-time competitive drops.
