Team Plugin Auditor Tooling

Need everyone on the team to check plugin status? By committing the `.vscode/mcp.json`, every developer gets access to `audit_wordpress_plugins`. This ensures a standardized approach for security checks. The MCP Server provides consistent results—the name, version, author, and active state—for all developers working in the repository.

Running Audits via Copilot Chat

In Copilot Chat Agent mode, you can invoke `audit_wordpress_plugins` without leaving your workspace. The tool pulls a list of installed plugins and their current status for maintenance review. This means the whole team uses the same mechanism to gather data efficiently, making audit reviews much faster.

MCP Server Data Collection

The `audit_wordpress_plugins` tool collects critical metadata: name, version, author, and active/inactive status. This structured output is immediately available for your team to use in coding or documentation. It’s a reliable way to keep track of technical debt associated with WordPress plugins.
