Sync Plecto metrics across teams using this MCP Server

The `list_data_sources` tool exposes active telemetry pipelines to your entire engineering team. By committing the configuration to your repository, every developer using VS Code Copilot can query active data inputs. Your team can verify which pipelines are active by running `list_data_registrations` within the chat. This ensures everyone writes code against the same live dataset without manual coordination.

Inspect active KPI formulas in the editor

The `list_formulas` tool lets your development team audit metric logic without leaving their workspace. When a dashboard display looks wrong, your developers can ask VS Code Copilot to pull the exact formula definition. This direct access lets you compare local code calculations against Plecto's server-side logic. Your agent uses this data to suggest adjustments to your local telemetry scripts.

Build dynamic employee reporting workflows

The `list_account_employees` tool provides a programmatic bridge between your codebase and your company directory. This MCP Server provides a programmatic bridge to map transactions to active reps. You can query `list_organizational_teams` to verify group structures before pushing data. This prevents orphaned records and ensures every metric is assigned to the correct team leaderboard.
