Shared ERP Context in VS Code Copilot

The `get_erply_user_metadata` tool verifies configuration settings directly inside your team's shared workspace. VS Code Copilot reads these settings to ensure every developer works with correct API permissions. By committing the configuration to your repository, your entire team gets access to `list_crm_customers` instantly. This standardizes how your developers interact with customer data during feature development on this MCP Server.

Build Pricing Features with Live Data

The `list_retail_price_lists` tool exposes active retail campaign rules directly to VS Code Copilot. Your team uses this MCP integration to write accurate pricing algorithms based on live promotion data. Copilot reads the output of `get_product_detailed_data` to ensure your tax calculations match Erply's internal logic. This prevents discrepancy bugs between your custom apps and the main POS system.

Automated Performance Auditing

The `quick_retail_performance_audit` tool gives VS Code Copilot a snapshot of current retail operations. Your developers use this data to write background jobs that monitor stockouts and sales velocity. Running `list_sales_documents` allows you to test financial reporting integrations. Having live invoice schemas in your workspace speeds up the development of custom accounting exports.
