Share Dashly context across your team in VS Code Copilot

This MCP Server shares support data with your team via `.vscode/mcp.json` using `list_users` and `list_conversations` to keep everyone aligned. Every developer on the team accesses the same live customer context instantly. Your VS Code Copilot agent references real support tickets when writing bug fixes. This eliminates communication gaps between your support desk and engineering team.

Reply to customer tickets within VS Code Copilot

Copilot sends support messages using `send_reply` and fetches thread details with `get_conversation` right from the chat panel. You don't leave your editor to handle support issues. The agent drafts responses based on your codebase context. You resolve technical issues and notify the customer in one continuous workflow.

Update user properties during development

The MCP Server updates customer database records with `set_user_props` and logs events via `track_event` directly from VS Code Copilot. This tool lets you modify test user attributes while writing database migrations. Your team tests how the system handles different user segments. You modify custom properties in real-time to verify that your feature flags work correctly.
