Share Cart.com (AmeriCommerce) tools across VS Code Copilot

The `create_product` tool lets developers on your team scaffold database entries directly from VS Code Copilot. By committing the MCP Server config, every engineer uses the same toolset to populate sandbox catalogs. Using `list_products` and `get_product_details` ensures your team designs layouts with accurate inventory schemas. This shared context prevents integration bugs when merging frontend code into the main repository.

Trace order payloads in your editor

This MCP Server uses `get_order_details` to load real transaction data straight into your Copilot chat panel. You troubleshoot failing checkout scripts by inspecting actual payload structures instead of relying on outdated logs. For broader pipeline testing, the `list_orders` tool pulls historical transaction batches into your workspace. This allows the team to write test cases that match true production data patterns.

Validate customer records during development

The `create_customer` tool allows you to test user creation workflows directly inside your editor. Copilot executes the tool to insert test profiles, ensuring your database schemas align perfectly with the API. When checking data integrity, `get_customer_details` and `list_customers` fetch live metadata to verify field mappings. You catch mismatched data types before shipping code to production.
