Standardize legal agreements across VS Code Copilot

The `create_agreement` tool allows VS Code Copilot to generate and update legal texts using our MCP Server. Your team ensures that everyone uses the same legal templates by pulling active versions with `list_agreements`. To inspect a specific policy, `get_agreement` retrieves the exact text and metadata. This keeps your legal copy uniform across all developer environments.

Process DSARs directly inside VS Code Copilot

The `create_dsar` tool gives your engineering team the ability to trigger privacy request workflows directly from the chat panel. Developers list active requests using `list_dsars` to trace pending data deletion tasks. When verifying a specific user request, `get_dsar` provides the precise details needed for manual override or automated execution. This keeps your team focused on resolution without switching applications.

Audit system status and tracking vendors

The `check_openli_status` tool verifies that your team's workspace is connected to the compliance API. To review active tracking cookies, VS Code Copilot runs `list_vendors` and `get_vendor` to inspect third-party scripts. Logging user choices is handled by `save_consent`, while `list_consents` and `get_consent` let developers audit compliance logs during local testing. This ensures your tracking setup complies with global standards before deployment.

Setup guide

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.
