Perplexity

Share JSM ticket context across your entire dev team

The `list_requests` tool lets your team inspect active support tickets directly inside VS Code Copilot by sharing a single configuration file. Everyone on the team can query ticket summaries and statuses without leaving the editor. When debugging a specific error, the agent uses `get_request` to pull up custom fields and descriptions. This ensures your developers are working with the exact same issue details as your support agents.

Monitor support queues inside VS Code Copilot

The `list_queues` tool exposes active ticket backlogs directly to VS Code Copilot for rapid triage. You don't need to keep a browser tab open to know when critical bugs are piling up in your service desk. To pinpoint the right desk, the agent calls `list_service_desks` to grab project keys and IDs. This keeps your workspace organized and focused on the correct support portals.

Query customer accounts and metadata using an MCP Server

The `list_organizations` tool retrieves business entity details directly into VS Code Copilot to help prioritize development tasks. You instantly know if a failing test affects a high-value enterprise customer. The agent can also run `list_customers` to identify the specific users waiting on a patch. This helps your team coordinate releases and communicate fixes back to support channels faster.
