Automate team asset delivery in VS Code Copilot

The `initialize_transfer` tool runs directly inside VS Code Copilot to start secure file uploads for your entire engineering team. Developers can share large database dumps or assets with external partners without leaving their active coding session. When the upload finishes, the agent triggers the MCP Server to finalize the transaction via `complete_transfer`. This generates a secure download link that Copilot can immediately drop into a pull request or slack message.

Track team inbox files inside VS Code Copilot

The `list_received_transfers` tool allows your VS Code Copilot agent to monitor incoming files sent to your shared team inbox. Developers can check for incoming assets, design mockups, or client data without opening an external browser tab. By calling `get_transfer_details`, the agent can inspect file names, sizes, and sender notes. This speeds up the integration of external assets into your local codebase.

Secure Filemail MCP Server access for enterprise teams

The `login` tool handles secure authentication for every developer on your team using VS Code Copilot. By committing a shared configuration file, your team can access the server using their individual credentials. The agent can query `get_user` and `get_configuration` to ensure all team uploads comply with corporate branding and security guidelines. This guarantees that files sent from the editor maintain your company's professional appearance.
