ZeroS360 MCP Tool Installer - VS Code Extension

� This is an INSTALLER extension that automatically downloads, installs, and configures the ZeroS360 MCP tool in your VS Code environment.

2. Installs the tool globally on your system
3. Configures VS Code to recognize the MCP server
4. Activates the security validation functionality

Once installed, the ZeroS360 MCP tool provides:

• ✅ Mandatory security validation for all AI-suggested code changes
• 🛡️ Compliance and governance controls for your workspace
• 🔍 Real-time validation when using GitHub Copilot or other AI agents
• 📋 Automated security checks before code modifications are applied
