Get quiz content by parameters

The `get_trivia_questions` tool pulls random trivia questions based on specific criteria like category, difficulty, and tags. Because it's managed in `.vscode/mcp.json`, every developer on your team uses the exact same data source. Your Copilot Chat agent can generate code that reliably consumes this live quiz content.

See what topics are available

The `list_trivia_categories` tool shows all defined knowledge areas. This centralizes the topic list, meaning no developer has to guess or hardcode a category name. It keeps your team's codebase consistent and reliable.

Filter by keywords and tags

Use `list_trivia_tags` when you need to restrict the quiz focus. It pulls specific filtering keywords—like 'Renaissance' or 'Physics.' Committing this config ensures everyone uses the same tag list. It makes your shared development process predictable.
