Perplexity

Run asset searches for the entire engineering team via MCP Server.

You can set up a shared tool configuration that lets every developer run `search_widen_assets` without needing local setup. This means the whole team uses the same, reliable search function against Widen (Acquia DAM). Results appear automatically when Copilot Chat runs the agent, giving everyone immediate context on asset availability.

Update and synchronize metadata across projects with MCP Server.

Need to push a new required field or update descriptions for assets? The team can use `update_asset_metadata` via the shared configuration. This keeps all developers on the same page regarding asset standards. It's reliable, enterprise-grade control that ensures data integrity across multiple development workflows.

Audit user roles and categories using Widen (Acquia DAM) tools.

Team leads can use the MCP Server to call `list_account_users` to get a definitive list of authorized users. This is critical for compliance checks. You can also run `list_global_categories` to validate that all required top-level folders exist before deploying new features.
