Shared game tools for VS Code Copilot

Commit your configuration to `.vscode/mcp.json` so your entire team uses the same deck logic. Everyone gets access to `create_new_deck` and `reshuffle_deck` without manual setup. VS Code Copilot users can now collaborate on the same simulation state. It ensures your team is testing against the same card distributions.

Automated pile management

Organize your game entities using `add_to_pile` and manage them with `shuffle_pile`. It keeps your team's code consistent with the actual card movements. This MCP Server handles the state transitions for you. Your agents can build complex rules based on the pile data they receive.

Reset and verify game rules

Clear your piles using `return_pile_to_deck` when your test suite finishes. It ensures each test run starts with a clean deck. You can use `list_pile` to verify the end state of a game. It makes debugging team-wide game logic much simpler.
