Shared Deta Base Access for Teams

Put a `.vscode/mcp.json` file in your project repo, and everyone on your team gets the same tools for your shared Deta Base. New hires can instantly query production data using `base_query_items` or fetch specific records with `base_get_item` without any setup. This makes collaboration much simpler. Your agent can use `base_insert_item` to add test data, `base_update_item` to fix a record, or `base_put_items` to batch-upload configuration. It’s a shared, scriptable interface to your team's data, available to Copilot.

Sync Project Files with Deta Drive

Use this MCP server to manage shared assets in Deta Drive. With Copilot in agent mode, you can use `drive_upload_file` to push shared resources or build outputs. Everyone on the team with VS Code gets access to the same file operations. It's also great for managing the drive itself. Ask your agent to get a file list with `drive_list_files`, pull down a specific configuration with `drive_download_file`, or remove outdated assets using `drive_delete_files`. This keeps your shared drive clean and in sync with your project.

An MCP Server for Your Dev Team

This isn't just another tool; it's shared infrastructure for your team's Copilot users. By committing the configuration, you ensure every developer has a consistent, secure way to interact with your Deta Space resources. It turns Copilot from a code assistant into a data-aware teammate. This MCP server standardizes how your team works with Deta. Instead of writing custom scripts, they can just ask Copilot's agent to perform actions like `base_get_item` or `drive_list_files`. It's faster, less error-prone, and fully integrated into the editor they already use.
