Perplexity

Team-wide access to INEP databases via VS Code Copilot

Sharing database access across your development team is straightforward when VS Code Copilot uses `search_datastore_sql` and `search_datastore`. Standardize how your engineering team interacts with Brazilian educational data by committing an MCP configuration to your repository. Copilot Chat uses this shared context to help your team write consistent queries. Developers can search the Censo Escolar database using the exact same tools and parameters.

Automate data catalog discovery in your workspace

Finding active database resources across the entire INEP catalog is fast when Copilot uses `list_packages` and `search_packages`. Stop letting your team waste hours searching for the correct database resource. Your agent inspects the returned packages using `get_package` to verify update frequencies and maintainers. This ensures your team always builds features using the latest official releases.

Deep inspection of educational organizations

Verifying data sources and publishers is instantaneous when Copilot queries `list_organizations` and `get_organization`. Navigating the different departments that publish educational data can slow down your integration. By querying these endpoints, Copilot helps document your codebase with accurate metadata. You always know which government branch is responsible for the datasets you rely on.
