Team-wide Channable tools in VS Code Copilot

Share your store management tools with your whole engineering team. By committing the Channable MCP Server configuration to your repo, every developer gets instant access to `list_channable_projects` and `get_project_summary`. This keeps your team aligned. Developers don't need to ask for access tokens or log into separate dashboards just to check which projects are active during development.

Direct order troubleshooting

Troubleshoot order sync bugs without leaving your workspace. VS Code Copilot uses `list_marketplace_orders` and `get_order_details` to pull specific order payloads right into your chat sidebar. This makes finding differences in tax calculations or shipping addresses much faster using the Channable MCP Server. You can compare the raw API output with your local database records instantly.

Track shipments and returns inline

Manage logistics data directly from your editor. Copilot calls `list_order_shipments` and `list_customer_returns` to help you verify that tracking numbers and return statuses are syncing correctly. This is incredibly useful when debugging webhook handlers or background workers. You can see exactly what Channable is sending without running separate curl commands.
