Perplexity

Share catalog access via MCP Server

Your entire team can query base prices and categories using the `list_inventory_products` tool. Committing the configuration to your repository means every developer gets instant access to the exact same catalog data. Granular item queries run through the `get_product_details` tool. VS Code Copilot retrieves dimensions, weights, and tax rules for specific GUIDs, letting your team write accurate validation logic without sharing API keys manually.

Debug fulfillment logic in VS Code

Troubleshooting broken fulfillment webhooks is easier when your agent uses the `get_sale_order_details` tool. Copilot pulls individual line items, shipping addresses, and invoice details right into your debugging session. Tracking inbound stock issues requires the `list_purchase_orders` tool. Your AI client reads supplier details, order dates, and received statuses so you can figure out exactly why an integration failed to update.

Pull vendor profiles automatically

Building customer-facing features demands real profile data, so your agent runs the `list_crm_customers` tool to return contact names, company details, and credit limits directly to your editor pane. Supplier management logic relies on the `list_crm_suppliers` tool to fetch primary contacts and payment terms. You ask Copilot to generate a report script, and it uses live vendor profiles to structure the output perfectly.
