Team-wide streaming control in VS Code

Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` to your repository to share the tool configuration with your entire team. Everyone uses the same `list_channels` and `update_channel` definitions. This prevents configuration drift across your engineering organization. It ensures that every developer has the same access to the streaming API.

Diagnostic log access for teams

Use `list_logs` to pull streaming diagnostics directly into the chat. Your team can troubleshoot playback issues together without leaving the editor. This visibility reduces the time spent on incident response. You get the facts immediately from the CDN logs.

Manage event lifecycles as a team

Coordinate live events using `create_event` and `list_events`. Your team can see the status of all scheduled broadcasts in the Copilot chat window. This keeps your infrastructure operations synchronized. Everyone sees the same event status and can take action when needed.
