Standardized health data in VS Code Copilot

Commit your server config to the repo to ensure the whole team uses the same tools. Accessing `get_daily_activity_summary` or `get_devices` becomes a team-wide standard. This removes the headache of individual setup. Every developer gets the same access to health data, keeping everyone aligned on the same data structures.

Manage team wellness with VS Code Copilot

Coordinate group goals or activity tracking using `create_activity_goal`. Your agents can help monitor team-wide progress through shared API access. It makes managing health data as simple as managing your codebase. Your team can build shared dashboards or tracking tools that pull from the same source.

Integrate biometric data into your workflow

Use tools like `get_ecg_log_list` or `get_vo2_max` to pull deep health analytics. Your agent can help you build custom reporting tools that run inside your familiar VS Code environment. You maintain full control over the data flow. It keeps your health records accessible without sacrificing the security of your development environment.

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
