Commit strategy standards to VS Code

Use a shared .vscode/mcp.json file to distribute the Growth Strategist tools to your entire engineering team. This ensures everyone follows the same validation rules for growth tactics. By centralizing this, you prevent individual contributors from building features based on unverified marketing assumptions. It makes growth strategy a repeatable, team-wide process.

Validate tactics directly in Copilot Chat

Trigger `validate_growth_tactic` during your sprint planning or coding sessions to check if your current approach holds up. The tool forces a clear definition of the target persona and evidence. This keeps your team focused on high-LTV enterprise clients rather than vanity metrics. It turns the AI into a strict auditor for your marketing logic.

Ensure enterprise-grade strategy compliance

Growth Strategist integrates with VS Code 1.96+ to provide a secure, managed way to handle growth logic. The server operates under your organization's existing security policies. This allows you to maintain strict control over how marketing tactics are proposed and vetted. You get a clear, auditable trail of why specific growth strategies were approved for development.
