Team-wide Better Proposals for VS Code

Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` to the repo to give every developer access to the same tools. Everyone can use `list_templates` or `create_contact` from their own editor. It keeps the team synchronized on how your project talks to your proposal system. No one has to configure their tools manually.

Manage company data in VS Code

The `list_companies` tool lets your team see organization details without logging into the web dashboard. It puts the information right where you write code. This keeps your technical work grounded in your business reality. You get accurate data to drive your feature development.

Track proposal analytics in VS Code

Use `get_analytics` to monitor document performance inside the IDE. It allows for quick checks on how your proposals are trending during development. Having these metrics available stops the context switching. You stay in the editor while you verify how your changes affect the business.
