How to Use the Toggl Plan MCP in VS Code Copilot

Managing Timelines for the Team

Keep your team's view accurate by running `update_timeline_task` via the MCP Server config. You can also proactively add new work items using `create_timeline_task`. This ensures everyone sees the latest phase status immediately.

Getting Project and Task Details

Need to validate data before committing? The Copilot Chat panel lets you call `get_project_details` for a full project scope review. You can also check task specifics by using the `get_task_details` tool, which pulls up all relevant information.

Listing Scope Information

The MCP Server helps you map out your whole environment. Use `list_workspace_projects` to list every project ID in a workspace, or run `list_workspace_tags` if you need to know what categorization tags are available for new tasks.
