Access your team wiki with this VS Code Copilot MCP Server

Using `list_books` lets developers explore the entire documentation tree from inside their editor. New hires can query the workspace directly to find onboarding guides. The agent fetches the exact pages they need, cutting down onboarding friction.

Build and organize wiki pages during active development

Running `create_page` helps you draft API specs directly from your active workspace. If a project gets deprecated, your agent runs these MCP tools to keep your BookStack instance clean and relevant.

Monitor wiki changes and status from your terminal

Calling `list_audit_log` shows you exactly who modified pages recently to keep your workspace compliant. You can also run `get_system_status` to check your BookStack instance health. It ensures your connection is solid before you push major documentation updates.
