Standardize Messenger integration tests in VS Code Copilot

Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` configuration to your repository so everyone can run `get_page_info`. Every developer gets instant access to the same live page data. This team-wide MCP Server setup ensures everyone tests against the same Facebook Page parameters. It eliminates configuration drift across your engineering team.

Audit live communication flows inside VS Code Copilot

Your team can debug production issues by querying live message histories with `list_conversations`. Copilot pulls the exact thread state into your sidebar. It allows your developers to inspect raw payloads and trace errors using `get_messages` without opening the Facebook Business Suite. You get direct access to the raw data your code is processing.

Manage message templates and personas in your codebase

Keep your codebase in sync with your marketing assets by querying `list_message_creative`. Copilot verifies that the template IDs in your code match what is live on Facebook. You can also use `list_personas` and `get_persona_info` to audit active customer service profiles. It ensures your automated routing scripts always target valid Facebook configurations.
