Standardize Auth Testing with the VS Code Copilot MCP Server

This MCP server integrates your Descope user management directly into your team's shared workspace. By checking a `.vscode/mcp.json` file into your repository, every developer instantly gains access to tools like `mgmt_search_users` and `mgmt_create_user`. New team members do not need to configure complex environment variables to test logins. They use Copilot to trigger `auth_enchantedlink_signup` and `auth_enchantedlink_poll` to verify email flows immediately.

Secure Multi-Tenant Environments

This server manages complex enterprise structures directly from your editor. Copilot uses `mgmt_create_tenant` and `mgmt_list_tenants` to build and verify isolated organizational boundaries for your B2B applications. Team members can quickly verify if a tenant exists or create new ones during testing. This speeds up the development of multi-tenant routing logic without manual dashboard access.

Verify Complex Magic Link Flows

This server debugs email authentication flows without leaving your workspace. Your agent triggers `auth_magiclink_signup_email` to send active links to your test inbox. Once you receive the link, you pass the token back to Copilot, which runs `auth_magiclink_verify` to confirm that your application correctly parses the incoming session parameters. It takes just a single conversational command to complete the loop.
