Unified team security in VS Code

Commit your mcp.json to the repo so every teammate uses `evaluate_password` the same way. It ensures consistent password policy enforcement across the project. Stop dealing with inconsistent audit tools. Every developer gets the same entropy and crack time data directly inside their Copilot Chat.

Automated credential analysis

The agent uses `evaluate_password` to flag weak credentials during code reviews. It provides clear, actionable feedback on why a password fails your standards. Improve your team's security posture with data-backed decisions. The tool removes the guesswork from enforcing complex password requirements.

Local-only security auditing

VS Code executes the evaluation locally via the MCP standard. Your credentials never touch the network, keeping your audits compliant and private. Use `evaluate_password` with confidence. The local zxcvbn integration provides reliable, fast analysis without needing an external service.
