Team-wide GitScrum visibility in VS Code

Commit your .vscode/mcp.json to the repo so everyone on the team has the same access. Everyone uses `list_projects` and `get_project` to stay aligned on the current sprint. It removes friction. You get a consistent view of the board across your entire engineering department without manual setup.

Automated status checks via GitScrum tools

Your team needs to know the state of the board. Use `list_tasks` to filter by status and see exactly what is left for the release. It keeps things transparent. You can run `project_stats` to see if your team is hitting their targets during the daily standup.

Deep project insights with this MCP Server

You can pull detailed task information using `get_task` directly into your editor. It bridges the gap between your code and your project management tools. It works for everyone. Whether you are checking labels with `list_labels` or verifying project members, the data is available at your fingertips.
