Manage Team Membership via MCP Server

The best part for teams is shared configuration. The agent lets you manage who belongs to an organization through tools like `invite_organization_member` and `remove_organization_member`. You can audit the team roster at any time by calling `list_organization_members`, ensuring everyone has correct access.

Map Repositories for Team Consistency

Connecting source control to your database is easy. Use `map_github_repository` to link a repo and then verify the association with `get_github_repository_mapping`. This ensures every developer on the team uses the correct data source for their feature branch.

Audit Infrastructure Health Across Teams

Need to know if a project is nearing capacity? The agent runs `get_project_limits` to check resource ceilings. You can also see all available environments using `list_branches` or checking global deployment zones with `list_regions`. This capability helps keep the whole engineering team on track.
