Team-wide recruiting tools in VS Code

Using `list_board_departments` and `list_board_offices`, anyone can pull the current job board structure into their chat. This ensures your entire team is working with the same data. No more fragmented knowledge across different local setups.

Manage job boards with Copilot

Update your job board presence without leaving the editor. The server provides `submit_board_application` and `update_application` so you can test your recruitment flows end-to-end. It is perfect for developers building internal hiring platforms. You can verify your API integration by actually pushing data through the pipe.

Get deep visibility into your ATS by running `get_candidate_activity_feed` via Copilot. It gives you an instant summary of candidate progress without needing access to the main dashboard.
