Standardize team typography in VS Code Copilot

Keep your entire engineering team aligned on the same font assets. By adding this MCP Server to your repository's configuration file, every developer using VS Code Copilot gets instant access to `list_all_fonts` to verify approved font families. No more mismatched font weights across different feature branches. Copilot uses the shared server to fetch uniform metadata, ensuring that every developer builds with the exact same typography specifications.

Fetch exact font details in your editor

When writing styling code, your VS Code Copilot chat can fetch the exact files and subsets you need. The agent calls `get_font_details` to pull down the exact URLs and formats for your web fonts. This integration prevents manual copy-pasting from web browsers. Copilot reads the raw JSON response and drops the correct font definitions straight into your active VS Code editor window.

Verify font registry availability

Ensure your build pipeline won't break due to external downtime. Your team can use VS Code Copilot to trigger `check_api_status` and verify that the Google Fonts registry is responsive before deploying major UI updates. If you are troubleshooting a broken font render, Copilot can run `search_fonts` to check if the font family name was misspelled or if it has been deprecated from the Google Fonts catalog.
