Sync your data.world projects with VS Code Copilot

The `get_project_details` tool resolves project members, objectives, and linked resources inside your workspace. This lets your team-wide agent understand the organizational context of the code you are writing. This MCP server config ensures every developer on your team has the same metadata access. No one has to guess who owns a dataset or what its current status is.

Search the catalog using this MCP Server

The `search_catalog` tool allows your agent to run full-text searches across titles, descriptions, and tags in your data catalog. It helps developers locate the exact tables they need directly from the VS Code chat interface. Once found, you can use `get_dataset_details` to inspect field definitions. This keeps your team focused on writing code instead of hunting for documentation.

Monitor workspace updates in real time

The `list_recent_activity` tool streams recent updates, catalog modifications, and project contributions directly to your agent. It ensures your development team is always aware of schema changes or new data uploads. You can also call `list_my_projects` to review your active contributions. It provides a quick way to audit your current workspace footprint before committing code.
