Shared vector management for teams

Use `create_table` and `delete_table` to manage your team's vector infrastructure consistently. By defining these in your project's `mcp.json`, everyone stays in sync. `list_tables` gives your team visibility into all available collections. It prevents configuration drift across different developer machines.

Vector search inside VS Code Copilot

Trigger `vector_search` to pull relevant context into your chat. Your team can now base their code on live similarity results instead of static mocks. This tool makes it simple to retrieve complex data patterns. Just describe what you need, and the agent fetches it from your table.

Automated data ingestion

Use `insert_rows` to update your embeddings as part of your development flow. The tool updates your index without requiring manual database intervention. `get_table` lets you quickly verify your schema structure. It is a simple way to maintain the integrity of your vector data as your project grows.
