How to Use the CompanyCam MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I share the CompanyCam MCP Server configuration with my team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository and commit it. When your team opens the project in VS Code, Copilot automatically detects the configuration and loads the tools.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot search CompanyCam projects using MCP?

Yes. The agent runs searchprojects directly from the chat panel to find jobsites by name, returning the exact ID and metadata to your workspace.

Q: Can my team view jobsite documents in VS Code Copilot?

Yes, the agent calls listprojectdocuments to retrieve a list of all files attached to a project. This lets developers inspect attachment structures without leaving the editor.

Q: How do I verify which user uploaded a specific photo?

Ask Copilot to run getphotodetails on the target image. It will retrieve the creator's ID, which you can resolve to a real name using the listusers tool.

Share CompanyCam project data and jobsite photos across your engineering team directly within VS Code Copilot.

Manage jobsites directly from the VS Code Copilot panel

The `create_project` tool allows your development team to generate new jobsites without leaving the code editor. This is useful for testing onboarding flows or verifying webhook behaviors in real-time. For existing records, this MCP Server runs `get_project` to pull the exact coordinates and details of a job. It keeps your team aligned without requiring anyone to open a browser window.

Query live construction photos inside your editor

The `list_all_photos` tool lets your team pull global image feeds directly into the chat interface. You can inspect layout bugs or verify image processing pipelines using active production assets. When debugging a specific asset, Copilot runs `get_photo_details` to verify the exact metadata structure. This helps you write reliable parsers for EXIF data and upload timestamps.

Access team directories and documents

The `list_users` tool fetches your company's active roster directly into the terminal or chat panel. Developers can quickly match user IDs to test accounts without querying database tables manually. To verify file attachments, the agent calls `list_project_documents` to list all PDFs and contracts. This lets you debug document-handling features using real, production-grade files.
