Share financial tools across the VS Code Copilot team

Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` file to your repository so every developer uses the same toolset. This ensures your team pulls consistent data using `list_accounting_invoices` across all local machines. Your engineers can now query production-like data without needing individual API keys for every service. The server handles the connection details globally.

Access commerce orders in VS Code Copilot

Use `list_commerce_orders` to fetch order history while building new features. The agent uses this real-time data to help you refactor your checkout flow. Pair this with `list_commerce_transactions` to get a full view of your payment status. It makes identifying failed orders during local development much faster.

Monitor data connections in VS Code Copilot

Run `list_data_connections` to see which integrations are active for your company. This helps your team verify that the environment is configured correctly before running deep analysis. Use `check_api_health` as a quick sanity check for your entire team. If the API is down, everyone knows immediately instead of chasing phantom bugs.
