Shared venue management in VS Code

Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` to your repository to ensure every developer has the same access to `list_venues` and `get_venue_details`. This keeps the whole team aligned on the current state of your indoor infrastructure. Engineers can quickly check which floor plans are active by running `list_floorplans`. It eliminates the need for manual tracking of map readiness across different team workstations.

Analyze session logs in VS Code

Pull historical positioning data using `list_positioning_sessions` to investigate site performance. Your team can use `get_session_data` to visualize how users move through a venue, helping you refine your navigation logic. When a specific floor needs attention, `get_fingerprint_paths` shows your team exactly where more data collection is required. It makes optimizing signal coverage a collaborative task.

Deploy mapping updates in VS Code

Trigger map updates for your entire team by calling `trigger_map_generation` through Copilot Chat. Since the tool is configured in your shared settings, any authorized developer can initiate the build process. This is a reliable way to ensure your positioning models are always up to date. You avoid the friction of switching to a separate management portal just to refresh your maps.
