Manage Plans Across the Team MCP Server

When onboarding a new developer, you can run `list_plans` to show them all existing structured plans. This ensures everyone on the team has visibility into what's already set up in Structured.

Update Tasks for Standardization with Copilot

If a task needs a universal fix, use `update_task`. By committing this to your `.vscode/mcp.json`, every developer on the team gets access to standardized editing rights across Structured.

Create New Tasks via Copilot

Need a new routine added to the system? Use `create_task`. Since this is configured at the project level, all developers can consistently create tasks with titles and optional start times.
