Debug shipping operations as a team inside VS Code Copilot

The `list_shipping_shipments` tool pulls the most recent shipments from your EasyPost account directly into your shared workspace. Your agent analyzes these payloads to help your team diagnose integration errors and verify shipping formats without leaving the editor. By committing the MCP Server configuration to your shared repository, every developer on your team gets instant access to these diagnostic tools. This setup ensures everyone writes code against the same live data.

Run delivery health audits directly in VS Code Copilot

The `quick_delivery_health_audit` tool generates a complete summary of shipment activity and carrier success rates. Your agent analyzes this breakdown inside your editor, allowing your team to spot failing shipping lanes and adjust routing logic before shipping products. You don't need to log into a separate logistics dashboard to check carrier performance. The raw audit data is pulled straight into your chat, letting you update configuration files based on real-time transit metrics.

Locate lost packages using the EasyPost MCP Server

The `search_by_tracking_code` tool finds specific tracking records across all your active carriers. Your agent reads the transit history directly inside the editor, making it easy to debug shipping status bugs or verify webhook payloads during development. This tool eliminates the tedious process of searching carrier websites manually. Your team gets the exact status and event logs they need to fix customer-facing tracking issues.
