How to Use the Farmonaut MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we share the Farmonaut MCP Server configuration across our team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository and commit it to Git. Every developer using VS Code Copilot will automatically gain access to the agricultural tools when they open the project.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot fetch raw satellite images from Farmonaut?

Yes, the agent can invoke getsatelliteimages to retrieve true-color and false-color composites. This allows your team to verify image processing pipelines directly inside the editor.

Q: How can we debug crop advisory tools using Copilot?

Ask Copilot to run getcropadvisory for a test field. The tool returns specific recommendations for fertilizer and pest control, giving your team immediate sample data for debugging.

Connect VS Code Copilot to live satellite feeds and soil moisture sensors to build enterprise-grade agricultural software.
