Sync Your Team with a Single Config

This MCP Server plugs your team's Copilot directly into Height. By committing a `.vscode/mcp.json` file to your repo, every developer gets the same tools automatically. It's the fastest way to give your whole team programmatic access to project status. Now, anyone on the team can ask Copilot to run `list_tasks` to see what's in the current sprint or `list_users` to find the right person to ping for a code review. It removes ambiguity and makes sure everyone is working from the same information.

Audit Project History from VS Code

Give Copilot the ability to look up project history. The `list_activities` tool is a powerful way to get a feed of all recent changes in your Height workspace. You can ask questions about when a task was moved or who commented last. This is about giving developers context right where they work. Instead of opening a browser and digging through a task's timeline, they can just ask Copilot. It's faster and keeps them focused on their code.

Navigate Your Workspace with Copilot

Your agent can now understand the structure of your projects. Using the `workspace` and `list_lists` tools, Copilot can get a map of your entire Height setup. This helps it answer questions about where certain types of tasks are tracked. For instance, a developer can ask, 'Which list do we use for tracking technical debt?'. Copilot can scan the output of `list_lists` to find the answer. It turns project management conventions from tribal knowledge into queryable data.
