Team-wide directory mapping in VS Code Copilot

The `list_folders` tool lets VS Code Copilot map out your Files.com directory structures for your entire engineering team. By committing the MCP Server config to your repository, team members can ask VS Code Copilot to locate specific Files.com paths. Your team can ask Copilot to locate specific project directories without browsing the web interface. The agent runs the query and points developers to the exact path on your storage server.

Audit user group permissions inside VS Code Copilot

The `list_user_groups` tool provides VS Code Copilot with the necessary context to audit team access levels on Files.com. Developers can check which groups have access to specific folders without leaving their coding workspace. Your team can ask VS Code Copilot to run `list_permissions` to verify that Files.com directories comply with company security policies.

Track storage activity via this MCP Server

The `list_activity_history` tool streams Files.com audit logs directly to your VS Code Copilot chat panel. This allows developers to debug file upload pipelines or webhook failures by viewing the actual event history. When debugging upload pipelines, you ask VS Code Copilot to parse the Files.com event log and extract the failing user ID.
