Standardize Tenant Management

Add the Nile MCP Server to your project's `.vscode/mcp.json` file and commit it. Now every developer on your team can provision new customer environments by asking Copilot to run `create_tenant`. This ends the "it works on my machine" problem for tenant setup. Onboarding a new developer is simpler. They just pull the repo and can immediately use tools like `get_database` to inspect a tenant's configuration or `list_tenants` to see the dev environment. No more sharing setup scripts or environment variables.

Collaborative Performance Tuning

When a performance issue comes up, anyone on the team can ask Copilot to `get_metrics` for the production database. The performance stats appear right in the chat, providing a shared context for debugging. No one needs special access to a separate monitoring dashboard. This makes debugging collaborative. A developer can pull the metrics, identify a struggling database, and then use `list_tenants` to see which customers are on it. They can share this entire chat history with a teammate to solve the problem faster.

Your MCP Server for Security Audits

Your security team can use the same setup to run audits. They can ask Copilot to `list_users` to get a complete list of everyone with access, or `list_databases` to map out the entire data infrastructure. The results are instant and require zero setup on their part. Because the MCP configuration is shared in the repository, you can be sure everyone is running checks against the correct production environment. This makes compliance checks consistent and repeatable, whether they're run by a developer or an auditor.
