Team-Wide Hub Planner MCP Server Access

The `list_projects` tool gives your entire team instant access to active Hub Planner states inside VS Code Copilot. Sharing a single configuration file in your repository allows every engineer to query these details and `list_clients` directly. Having shared access means anyone can verify Hub Planner project structures inside VS Code Copilot without hunting for documentation. The agent runs `get_me` to ensure everyone has the correct Hub Planner access rights before making calls.

Sync Bookings and Holiday Schedules

The `list_bookings` tool syncs calendar allocations with your development timeline inside VS Code Copilot. Your developers can query this alongside `list_events` to see how personal time-off impacts Hub Planner deadlines. This workflow prevents Hub Planner scheduling conflicts before code is even committed in VS Code. The agent can also pull `list_unassigned` Hub Planner tasks to help developers find open issues they can claim.

Analyze Team Allocations Directly

The `list_resources` tool analyzes your developer capacity directly inside VS Code Copilot. Your VS Code Copilot agent pairs this with `list_teams` to map out your entire Hub Planner department. This lets you run quick Hub Planner capacity checks without leaving VS Code. You can query `list_tags` to filter Hub Planner resources by technical stack or experience level.
