Team-wide shipping tools in VS Code Copilot

The `list_available_couriers` and `get_easyship_account_metadata` tools give your entire engineering team instant access to active shipping limits. Share your shipping configurations across your team without distributing raw API keys. This stops team members from sharing API keys insecurely. Everyone queries the same controlled endpoint to get accurate carrier capabilities during development.

Troubleshoot failed deliveries inside your editor

The `list_failed_deliveries` and `list_in_transit_shipments` tools let your developers inspect stuck packages inside the editor. Tracking down why an order didn't arrive shouldn't require opening a browser. Your team gets the exact error codes from `get_shipment_details` immediately. This lets your developers fix order-routing bugs without leaving their codebase.

Audit shipping volume during development

The `quick_shipping_volume_audit` and `list_logistics_shipments` tools expose actual shipment counts to help you design backend sync jobs. Designing backend sync jobs requires knowing your actual data scale. The agent uses `search_shipments_by_reference` to test your search indexing code. You get realistic performance metrics based on your actual database size.

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
