Share Magnolia MCP Server tools across your team

The `mg.list_jcr_workspaces` tool exposes your active content domains to everyone on your team through `.vscode/mcp.json`. Your team uses VS Code Copilot to query workspaces and verify node structures without manual setup. Committing this configuration to Git ensures that every developer has instant access to the same headless delivery endpoints. This standardizes how your team interacts with Magnolia JCR trees using the MCP standard.

Validate live templates inside VS Code Copilot

The `mg.get_template_schema` tool allows VS Code Copilot to audit your local components against the live Magnolia CMS templates. The agent scans your code, checks the remote schema, and highlights structural mismatches. This automated validation prevents broken layouts from reaching production. You find schema discrepancies during your normal development loop, right inside your favorite editor.

Modify enterprise content paths safely

The `mg.execute_workspace_command` and `mg.patch_cms_node` tools let your team run controlled content mutations from VS Code Copilot. The agent writes JSON payloads to update draft schemas or trigger validation checks. This integration turns your editor into a control plane for headless content. You don't need to jump into the Magnolia console to push quick content fixes or verify workspace rules.
