Controlling Woodpecker CI Pipelines in VS Code Copilot

You can use the `get_pipeline` tool to pull all details for a specific pipeline, letting developers know exactly what's running. If you need it restarted, just call `restart_pipeline`. The MCP Server gives your team uniform control over all build processes.

Managing Team Resources via the MCP Server

Need to see who works here? `list_users` provides a directory of all users (admin only). For project oversight, `list_orgs` shows every organization your team interacts with. This shared configuration ensures everyone on the engineering team uses the same definitions.

Securing Secrets and Credentials

`create_repo_secret` lets you add specific credentials tied to a single repository. You can also list all secrets at both the repo level (`list_repo_secrets`) and organization level (`list_org_secrets`). This helps enforce mandatory security protocols across the team.
