Consistent Definitions

Check the `.vscode/mcp.json` file into your repository. Now, anyone on your team who asks Copilot about egg textures gets the same, correct answer from the `get_texture_descriptions` tool. This eliminates ambiguity. 'Soft-boiled' now has one definition for your entire project, from the backend API to the frontend display.

Reliable Calculations for Your Team

This MCP gives your whole team access to a single source of truth for boiling times. Copilot's agent can call `calculate_boiling_time` to get a duration based on real physics. Inputs are checked with `validate_egg_parameters`, so typos or bad data in a prompt won't lead to a nonsensical result. Everyone on the team gets the same, repeatable logic.

An MCP Config for the Whole Team

The best part of using this with VS Code is the shared configuration. Define the Egg Boiling Timer MCP server once in your project's `.vscode` directory. Every developer who pulls the repo automatically has it configured in Copilot. No individual setup, no version mismatch. Your team's agent is now an expert on boiling eggs.
