Team-wide decentralized access control in VS Code Copilot

This MCP Server coordinates decentralized permission groups across engineering teams using `add_group`. By committing the server configuration directly to your repository, every developer on your team gets instant access to these cryptographically secure tools. Copilot uses `add_pkp_to_group` to bind specific threshold keys to authorized developer groups. This setup ensures that access control structures are managed directly alongside your codebase.

Execute verified code in secure enclaves

This MCP Server executes tamper-proof Javascript code inside decentralized enclaves using `execute_lit_action`. Your team can run sensitive operations without relying on a centralized server. Copilot handles the execution requests and parses the cryptographic signatures returned by the nodes. This allows you to verify execution outcomes right inside your editor terminal.

Track API billing and usage across your team

This MCP Server monitors developer platform costs using `get_billing_balance` to prevent service interruptions. Your agent checks the account status and alerts the team when credits run low. Developers can generate payment intents using `create_payment_intent` and finalize them with `confirm_payment`. This keeps your decentralized infrastructure funded without leaving your development environment.
