Automate video creation

As an engineering team, you want to standardize content generation. Commit the call to `generate_replica_video(script_id)` to `.vscode/mcp.json`. Every developer gets the same reliable way to create videos using Tavus Video Replicas. This ensures that all new video assets are created with consistent tooling and traceable parameters.

Audit content lifecycle

Team leads can enforce data governance by having Copilot access `list_generated_videos`. This lets the whole team see every piece of content generated, making audits simple. If a video needs removing for compliance, running `delete_video(video_id)` is fast and repeatable across all projects.

Manage replica assets centrally

Instead of individual testing, use Copilot to access the full list via `list_replicas`. The team can then uniformly retrieve specs using `get_replica_details` for compliance checks. If a voice profile is retired or flagged, `delete_replica(replica_id)` provides an atomic way to remove it from the codebase.
