Share team-wide reference links in VS Code Copilot

Keep your development team aligned by committing a shared configuration to your repository. VS Code Copilot reads the configuration and lets developers run `list_all_bookmarks` to access the team's shared LinkAce repository. Instead of searching Slack or internal wikis for setup guides, developers ask Copilot for the onboarding links. The agent pulls them instantly, saving onboarding time for new hires.

Save documentation links directly from your workspace

When you find a critical fix or a useful tool, save it for the team. Copilot executes `create_new_bookmark` to archive the URL to your shared LinkAce dashboard. You can keep the archive organized by running `create_new_tag` or `create_new_collection` directly from the VS Code chat interface, ensuring the link is filed under the correct project code.

Use this MCP Server to find specific project assets

Avoid context switching when searching for internal dashboards or staging URLs. Tell Copilot what you need, and it runs `search_bookmarks` to retrieve the exact link from your LinkAce instance. Copilot can also run `get_bookmark_details` to read the descriptions and tags associated with the link. This gives your team immediate clarity on what each internal tool is used for.
