One Config for the Whole Team

This MCP Server is designed for teams using VS Code. You add the Amplifier config to a `.vscode/mcp.json` file and commit it to your repository. Every developer who pulls the repo gets the same tools in Copilot automatically. There's no individual setup. A new engineer can be productive on day one, asking Copilot's agent to `get_order_details` or `get_inventory_report` without needing a walkthrough. It just works.

Automate Scripts with Copilot

Build internal tools faster. Need a script to check for delayed shipments? Just tell Copilot's agent what you want. It will use the `get_shipment_report` tool to fetch the data and write the Python or Node.js script for you. Connecting Copilot to your backend via an MCP Server turns tedious scripting tasks into a single prompt. You describe the outcome, and the agent writes the code to make it happen.

Debug with Live Production Data

Solve bugs without leaving your editor. When a problem is reported for a specific order, you can ask Copilot to fetch its data using `get_order_details`. The live data appears right next to your code. You see the exact information that's causing the issue. This avoids having to reproduce the problem in a staging environment or digging through logs. You get straight to the source.
