Team-Wide Content Grading

Calling `grade_content` verifies your team's markdown documentation against Clearscope's mapped NLP bounds right inside the editor. Because the configuration lives in your repository, every technical writer gets the exact same structural matching feedback. Nobody has to leave their IDE to check their SEO score. Copilot reads the active document and lists the missing terms in the chat panel.

Shared Workspaces

The `list_workspaces` tool retrieves the root identity mappings for your organization's specific containers. From there, Copilot can hit `list_reports` to pull up bounded logical arrays of top-level SEO reports. This keeps your entire engineering team aligned on target keywords. Developers can check the status of a content project without asking the marketing team for an update.

VS Code Copilot MCP Server Outlines

Running `get_outline` through this MCP setup extracts structural string arrays from top-ranking pages. Copilot uses this data to scaffold your markdown files with specific headers. Your content hierarchy matches Google's expectations before anyone writes a single paragraph. The agent sets up the entire file structure based on hard SERP data.

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
