Audit community rosters using this MCP Server

Use `list_group_members` and `search_users` to verify member access levels directly inside VS Code Copilot. Your engineering team can share a single configuration file to run audits during development cycles. This shared setup ensures that everyone on the team has access to the same directory tools. You can quickly cross-reference local database records with live community profiles to flag discrepancies.

Manage group invitations inside VS Code Copilot

Run `list_invitations` and `list_pending_requests` to monitor your community onboarding pipeline from your editor. Copilot helps you build automated scripts to process these queues based on team-defined rules. You can also use `create_group` to set up new testing environments on the fly. This keeps your staging and production community structures aligned without leaving your development environment.

Inspect member logs and details in your workspace

Use `get_user_activity` and `get_account_details` to diagnose integration issues during team review sessions. When debugging user-reported bugs, Copilot pulls the exact activity history to pinpoint the failure. You can check active connection points with `list_webhooks` to verify that external platforms are receiving events. This live diagnostic data helps your team solve production issues faster.
