Team-wide infrastructure configuration

Commit your MCP setup to Git so the whole team stays synced. Use `list_organizations` and `list_groups` to ensure everyone has the right permissions. This makes onboarding new developers faster. Every team member gets the same environment visibility as soon as they open the repo.

Automated workspace operations

Manage your fleet of environments from the command palette. Use `create_workspace` to provision resources or `update_workspace_autostart` to manage costs. Your agent can now handle routine cleanup tasks. It ensures that idle resources are managed according to your team's policies.

Enterprise audit and analytics

Keep your deployment compliant by reviewing logs and activity. Use `get_audit_logs` to see who changed what and `get_insights_user_activity` to track usage patterns. These tools give you the data needed for regular security checkups. You can export these metrics to ensure your team is using resources efficiently.
