Catalyst by Zoho — GitHub Copilot Plugin

A GitHub Copilot plugin that bundles:

• A remote MCP server connection (streamable-http) to Catalyst by Zoho's MCP, exposing CatalystbyZoho_* tools for direct infrastructure management (tables, buckets, cache, etc.).
• A full set of agent skills giving Copilot deep knowledge of Catalyst by Zoho — services, SDKs, CLI, architecture patterns, pricing, and migration guides.
• A /switch-dc command for switching the Catalyst MCP endpoint between supported data centers.

Structure

.plugin/plugin.json   Plugin manifest — links skills/ and .mcp.json
.mcp.json             Remote MCP server config (streamable-http)
commands/             Prompt commands, including /switch-dc
skills/               16 skill folders (routing skill + 15 service-specific skills)

MCP server

.mcp.json connects to the Catalyst MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "catalyst-by-zoho": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://catalyst.zohomcp.com/mcp/message"
    }
  }
}

If your server requires a per-org authenticated URL (format https://<server-name>-<org-id>.zohomcp.com/mcp/<auth-token>/message), get it from mcp.zoho.com → select your server → Connect → copy the URL, and update the url field above.

Commands

Use /switch-dc with a supported data center code:

/switch-dc EU

Supported values are US, EU, IN, AU, CA, SA, JP, and UAE. If you omit the value, the command asks you to choose a data center.
