How to Use the Leiga MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I roll out the Leiga MCP Server to my team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root and check it into Git. Once your team members update to VS Code 1.96+, Copilot will automatically detect the server and let them query tasks.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot read all my Leiga projects?

Yes, the agent uses listprojects to fetch all boards accessible under your account. You can query tasks across multiple projects directly from the chat interface.

Q: How does the Leiga integration with VS Code Copilot handle task prioritization?

The agent can analyze your backlog using listtasks and match it against active workloads. It then suggests which tasks to tackle next based on project details.

Connect VS Code Copilot to Leiga via this MCP Server to automate task creation and sprint planning for your entire engineering team.

Share Leiga context across your engineering team

Get your whole team on the same page. By committing a `.vscode/mcp.json` file to your repository, this MCP Server becomes available to all collaborators. Your team can ask VS Code Copilot about active tickets using `get_task_details` without manual configuration. This shared setup allows the team's copilot to pull live project specs directly into code reviews. It means everyone works with the same real-time data, reducing alignment meetings and keeping sprint goals clear.

Generate structured backlog tasks from VS Code Copilot

Don't let good ideas get lost in your editor. You can ask VS Code Copilot to draft a ticket based on a code discussion, and it will use `create_task` to put it straight into your backlog. The agent checks `get_project_details` first to ensure the ticket has the right metadata. It keeps your project board clean and populated, all while you stay focused on writing code.

Align your coding tasks with team workflows

Keep your sprint moving without checking an external dashboard. VS Code Copilot queries your project stages using `list_workflows` to see where your current work fits. It helps you prioritize your local tasks based on what the team needs most. By calling `list_tasks` and filtering by your active project, the agent shows you exactly what blockers need attention. It turns your editor into a command center for your team's daily standup.
