Standardize Picktime tools in VS Code

Commit your mcp.json to the repository so your whole team uses the same tools. Everyone gets access to `list_bookings` and `get_availability` immediately. This ensures consistent integration behavior across the engineering team. No more local configuration drift or missing endpoints.

Agent-driven scheduling in VS Code

Switch Copilot Chat to Agent mode and let it handle your scheduling logic. It uses `list_staff` and `get_service_details` to construct accurate booking flows. Your agent operates within the workspace context. It knows which services are active and which staff members are available for specific dates.

Manage business operations in VS Code

Use `list_locations` to map out your entire business footprint. The server provides a clear interface to query any branch from your editor. It helps you audit bookings or check service configurations across the company. You maintain full control over the scheduling data directly from your IDE.

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.
