Map template schemas in VS Code Copilot

`get_template_schema` exposes the exact field requirements of your Docupilot templates directly to your VS Code Copilot chat window. Your team can quickly inspect Docupilot structural requirements without leaving their shared VS Code Copilot environment. By pairing this with `get_template_merge_field_audit`, your developers can instantly see which Docupilot variables are mandatory in VS Code Copilot. It's a massive timesaver that stops broken payloads from hitting your live Docupilot production pipelines inside VS Code Copilot.

Track Docupilot merges using this VS Code Copilot MCP Server

`list_latest_document_merges` gives your team a shared view of recent Docupilot activity directly inside VS Code Copilot. This ensures everyone is aligned in VS Code Copilot on which Docupilot runs are executing successfully during staging tests. If errors occur, `list_failed_document_merges` highlights the exact structural or validation issues to VS Code Copilot. Your team can troubleshoot Docupilot template bugs collaboratively within the same VS Code Copilot workspace.

Execute Docupilot document merges from your VS Code Copilot workspace

`trigger_document_merge` launches Docupilot creation runs directly from the VS Code Copilot agent interface. This allows developers to test their Docupilot integrations with live data payloads inside VS Code Copilot. Once running, `get_document_generation_status` monitors the compilation progress and provides the resulting Docupilot URL to VS Code Copilot. You can inspect the final Docupilot PDF or document output without leaving VS Code Copilot.
