Sync Invoices via the VS Code Copilot MCP Server

The `list_invoices` tool gives your development team immediate access to billing records directly in Copilot Chat. Developers can filter invoices by date to debug payment integrations without leaving the editor. This cuts down on context switching during sprint cycles. When you need to inspect a specific transaction, this MCP server pulls the raw payload via `get_invoice_details`. Your agent uses this data to help you write accurate parsing code.

Manage Customer Contacts in Copilot Chat

The `create_contact` tool allows your team to register new clients directly from the terminal or chat interface. This means you can populate your test environment with real contact formats in one command. It eliminates the need to manually fill out web forms. If you need to verify an existing profile, `get_contact_details` retrieves the full metadata structure. Your agent reads this structure to ensure your database migrations match.

Check Stock Levels and Estimates Instantly

The `list_inventory_items` tool lets you pull current inventory counts straight into your coding environment. Your agent can check these numbers to help you write logic that handles low-stock scenarios. You get real data instead of guessing the API payload. To see pending deals, `list_estimates` pulls active business quotes. This helps developers build accurate sales pipelines using real business estimates.
