Search and inspect reports inside VS Code Copilot

`search_reports` scans your entire analytical catalog natively through the Mode API right from your VS Code Copilot chat panel. VS Code Copilot uses this to find specific report tokens without making you open a web browser. Once located, `get_report` retrieves the exact analytical parameters for that item. This MCP tool allows VS Code Copilot developers to quickly inspect query logic and verify data models during code reviews.

Align your team with this MCP Server

`list_spaces` pulls every accessible collection space in your Mode workspace into your shared VS Code environment. Teams commit this VS Code configuration to their repository so everyone has instant visibility into Mode dataset isolation. Developers use `get_space` inside VS Code Copilot to check the parameters of targeted collections. This ensures that analytical assets are always saved in the correct team space, avoiding duplicated work.

Audit active members and database targets

`list_members` retrieves the list of active analytical users joined to your Mode workspace. VS Code Copilot uses this data to help you manage team permissions and assign analytical tasks. By running `list_data_sources`, you also get a clear view of every database connector bound to the platform. This makes it easy for VS Code Copilot to verify that your code targets the correct production warehouse.
