Audit packages and scripts in your editor

The `list_scripts` tool brings your Jamf Pro remote execution assets straight into VS Code Copilot. Your team can audit custom shell scripts and check software packages via `list_packages` without leaving the VS Code Copilot interface. It makes VS Code Copilot code reviews of Jamf Pro configurations simple. You can ask VS Code Copilot to analyze a script's impact on your fleet by comparing it against live Jamf Pro device data from `list_computers`.

Pull user and department associations instantly

The `list_users` tool matches specific devices to their owners inside your VS Code Copilot chat. When debugging a deployment issue, your VS Code Copilot agent queries `list_departments` to see if the problem is isolated to a single Jamf Pro office. This helps VS Code Copilot spot patterns across your Jamf Pro fleet quickly. You don't have to manually search the Jamf Pro web interface to find out which department is missing a critical software update while using VS Code Copilot.

Team-wide fleet auditing with this MCP Server

The `list_mobile_devices` tool lets your entire team run compliance checks from their shared VS Code Copilot workspace. Commit the configuration file to your git repository, and every developer gets access to the same Jamf Pro tools inside VS Code Copilot. This shared setup ensures everyone uses the same endpoints, like `get_mobile_device` for mobile audits in VS Code Copilot. It keeps your team's Jamf Pro workflows aligned without individual setup headaches in VS Code Copilot.
