Standardize Guidebook MCP Server tools in VS Code

Stop wasting time onboarding developers to your Guidebook app's API inside VS Code. By committing a `.vscode/mcp.json` file to your repository, every developer on your team instantly gains access to `list_guides` and `get_event` inside VS Code Copilot. Your entire engineering team can query, inspect, and update Guidebook event guides using VS Code Copilot. This shared Guidebook MCP Server setup keeps everyone aligned during high-pressure conference rollouts.

Bulk update Guidebook sessions via VS Code Copilot

When a Guidebook speaker cancels, you need to update multiple sessions fast inside VS Code. Ask VS Code Copilot to run `update_guide` and modify the schedule details across your entire Guidebook app database. VS Code Copilot handles the batch Guidebook updates in the background. You get instant confirmation without manual database scripts, keeping your Guidebook attendees updated in real time.
