Team-Wide Infrastructure Management

Commit your MCP configuration to the repo with `.vscode/mcp.json` so every developer has access to the same `create_project` and `list_projects` tools. This ensures consistency across your engineering team. Everyone uses the same commands to interact with your Northflank infrastructure.

Automated Service Operations

Use `list_services` to view your application instances directly in the IDE. If you need to verify a deployment, `get_service` provides the structural details you need. Trigger a fresh deployment at any time with `trigger_build`. It works seamlessly with your existing CI pipeline to get your code into production.

Environment and Job Auditing

List your batch and cron jobs using `list_jobs` to monitor background health. If you need to check your environment variables, `list_secrets` shows you exactly what is being injected. When a service needs a reset, use `restart_service` to perform a graceful cycle. It restores execution timing without requiring you to open a browser.
