Manage ChatGen bots directly inside VS Code Copilot

Keep your whole development team aligned on active bot deployments. By committing the MCP Server config to your repo, any developer using VS Code Copilot can run `list_bots` to check what is live. If a bot needs a quick tweak during a deployment, the developer can ask Copilot to run `update_bot` without needing admin access to a separate web portal.

Debug ChatGen routing using VS Code Copilot

When customers complain about routing, you can debug the assignment logic instantly. This MCP Server helps your team debug the assignment logic by using `list_teams` to pull your organizational groups and map them against active bot flows. This lets your team quickly identify if a bot is sending leads to the wrong department. You can inspect the routing rules and fix the backend logic in one place.

Inspect ChatGen lead details inside your IDE

Avoid switching context when investigating bad lead data. VS Code Copilot runs `get_lead_details` to fetch the exact metadata captured by your chatbot, letting you debug parsing errors on the spot. Your team can use `list_leads` to pull batch records and write test cases against actual production payloads, ensuring your data pipelines don't break.
