# How to Build Team Reading Lists with Copilot

Copilot builds team reading lists as structured data from within your IDE. Generate machine-readable book lists with ISBNs for purchase links, create team wiki pages with curated recommendations, and build reading progress tracking features from the structured book data.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Add ToolRouter to Copilot MCP config
2. In Copilot Chat: "Search for books on software craftsmanship and clean code using book-search"
3. Copilot returns relevant books
4. Ask: "Return the top 5 as JSON with title, author, ISBN, and a one-line recommendation"
5. Add the reading list to your team wiki or internal documentation

## Example Prompt

```
Build a reading list for backend engineers. Search for books on distributed systems, databases, and API design. Return as JSON.
```

## Tips

- Create machine-readable reading lists for internal tools and dashboards
- Use ISBNs to generate purchase links for the team
- Build a reading progress tracker from the structured book data
