Deploy Team-Wide Jotform Tools in VS Code Copilot

The `list_forms` tool lists every active form in your account directly within your shared workspace. By committing an MCP Server configuration to your repository, your entire team can inspect form layouts instantly. You don't have to share credentials or export CSVs manually anymore. VS Code Copilot uses this shared access to help any team member write integration code or check form statuses.

Inspect Form Reports and Submission Data

The `list_form_reports` tool retrieves custom reports configured in your account to help you verify data exports. Your agent analyzes these report structures to ensure your backend services parse the incoming payloads correctly. When debugging a broken webhook, the `get_submission_details` tool fetches the exact payload that failed. This lets you debug live issues directly from your editor chat without logging into the web dashboard.

Manage Form Folders and Submissions

The `list_submissions_for_form` tool queries all responses for a specific form ID to help you verify incoming data. Your agent can scan these responses to check if your latest API updates are processing data correctly. You can also run `list_form_folders` to see how forms are grouped. This makes it easy to write scripts that target specific organizational categories without hardcoding IDs.
