Standardize sales data access with this MCP Server

The `list_orders` tool brings recent multi-channel order data directly into the VS Code Copilot chat window. By committing the configuration to your repo, every developer on your team instantly gains access to the same live sales feed. This shared setup helps your team debug order routing bugs collectively. Your developers can query the exact same order payloads without sharing individual API keys.

Verify product variants inside VS Code Copilot

The `list_products` tool exposes your complete live product catalog and pricing structures to your development environment. Your team can ask Copilot to verify if a new database migration maps correctly to active variant IDs. This prevents broken SKU references from reaching your production databases. Your developers write migrations using actual, active catalog structures instead of outdated documentation.

Track stock levels during team debug sessions

The `list_inventory` tool aggregates live warehouse stock counts directly inside your collaborative workspace. When troubleshooting a checkout bug, your team can instantly query real-time levels to see if a product is actually out of stock. This MCP integration saves your engineering team from jumping between terminal windows and admin panels during a live outage. Copilot uses this live context to pinpoint why a specific item isn't adding to the cart.

Setup guide

Set up Afosto MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.

3

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the Afosto tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Afosto transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
