Description

Goal

The only doc some users will actually consume.

What to ship

A 60-120 second screencast embedded at the top of the README:

  • Install the MCP server in VS Code (10 seconds).
  • Set the connection string (10 seconds).
  • Ask Copilot: what collections exist in fleet? (10 seconds).
  • Show the response and follow up: find vehicles where status is 'maintenance'.

Hosted on Microsoft-owned infrastructure (Stream, YouTube channel, or embedded mp4 in repo via Git LFS).

Acceptance criteria

  • Length ≤ 120 seconds.
  • Captions / transcript included.
  • README has both the video and a text fallback for the same steps.

Why

Doesn't replace docs — captures users who won't read them.

Contributor guide

Research direction

Start by reading the existing README and following its MCP server installation and connection steps in VS Code. Record a 60-120 second walkthrough covering the listed Copilot prompts, choose one approved hosting option, and update the README with the video, captions or transcript, and a matching text fallback.
