Team-wide project tracking in VS Code Copilot

The `list_projects` and `get_project` tools in the LiquidPlanner Classic MCP Server let VS Code Copilot integrate directly with your team's workspace configuration. By running these queries, Copilot keeps the whole team aligned on project milestones without leaving the editor. Having these tools inside your editor means you can write code that directly references project schedules. Copilot reads project details to ensure your development tasks match the active project timeline.

Automated task management from the editor

The `create_task` tool lets your team build tasks directly from code files or terminal outputs. Copilot uses the parent ID parameter to file these tasks under the correct project or folder automatically. When tasks need updates, Copilot calls `update_task` to modify descriptions or adjust status. This keeps your project board updated as code is written, reducing manual administrative work.

Resource allocation and workspace management

The `list_members` tool pulls your team registry so Copilot can map tasks to specific developers. This ensures assignments are made to actual workspace members, avoiding orphaned tasks. To keep multiple teams organized, Copilot uses `list_workspaces` and `get_workspace` over the MCP connection. This prevents cross-workspace pollution and keeps your task updates in the right place.
