Perplexity

Share workspace context across your team in VS Code

The `list_projects` tool lets your developer environment pull active workspaces directly into VS Code using this team-wide MCP config. Commit your configuration directly to your repository so your entire team can query media workspaces. When debugging specific workspace issues, your team can call `get_project` to view configuration details. This keeps everyone aligned without needing separate API clients.

Inspect legacy share links inside VS Code Copilot

The `list_quicklinks` tool searches active share links across your entire account to troubleshoot broken pages. Track down broken review pages by letting your team query these assets directly from the chat interface. Once the target link is found, `get_quicklink` pulls the exact destination and expiration settings. This makes troubleshooting external review pages a matter of seconds.

Pull production asset schemas with this MCP Server

The `get_asset` tool retrieves live production metadata directly in VS Code to help you build legacy pipelines. Building integrations for legacy video workflows is difficult without real schemas, but this tool provides them on demand. If you need to map out a directory tree, `list_folder_assets` pulls the exact contents of any folder. Your team gets real-world payloads to test against immediately.
