Shared event logistics tools in VS Code Copilot
Share your event tools across your entire engineering team. By adding this MCP Server to your repository configuration, every developer using VS Code Copilot can instantly query `list_trade_show_events` to build and test internal tools. No more individual API key management or manual setup. The team gets direct access to ExhibitDay event metadata and logistics, ensuring everyone writes code against the same live trade show data in VS Code Copilot.
Track actual budgets and booth shipments
Let's roll with real data instead of guessing. Your developers can use VS Code Copilot to query `get_event_budget_summary` and pull actual expense records directly into the terminal or chat window. When tracking physical assets, the VS Code Copilot agent calls `list_booth_shipments` to check on custom booth materials. This gives your team immediate visibility into shipping statuses while writing internal logistics software.
Audit event health during development
Spotting integration issues early saves thousands in physical logistics errors. Let's run `quick_event_logistics_audit` inside VS Code Copilot to fetch tasks, travel, and shipment details in one go. The VS Code Copilot agent uses `list_planning_tasks` to check project milestones against actual code progress. This keeps your development timeline aligned with the real-world trade show calendar.
