Standardize LatAm Billing in VS Code Copilot

This integration uses `create_invoice` to let your development team test electronic invoicing pipelines directly from VS Code Copilot. By committing the MCP config to your repo, every engineer gets instant access to test billing tools. The agent reads real-time tax structures from your account, preventing manual configuration errors. Developers can draft and verify test invoices without leaving their primary coding environment.

Pull Live Accounting Schemas

This capability uses `get_item_details` and `list_inventory_items` to inspect your inventory structures inside VS Code Copilot. Developers can query live SKU details to write precise integration logic. Instead of reading static API documentation, your team asks Copilot Chat for the exact fields returned by the server. The MCP Server executes the query instantly, returning real JSON structures.

Track Payments in Team Workspaces

This toolset uses `list_payments` and `get_invoice_details` to verify transaction states during code reviews. Copilot can confirm if a payment has cleared before your team deploys billing updates. This eliminates the need to jump between your terminal, browser, and editor. Your team stays focused in VS Code Copilot while the underlying MCP Server handles the secure API handshakes.
