Ingest financial statements using this MCP Server

`upload_statement` allows your development team to send merchant statements to Fee Navigator from VS Code Copilot. This MCP Server processes the document and outputs structured data directly inside your editor. Running `analyze_statement` initiates the deep audit of the uploaded statement. This lets your team build applications that instantly flag excessive processor markups.

Query merchant portfolios inside VS Code Copilot

`list_merchants` retrieves your complete merchant list within the Copilot chat window. This keeps your developers focused without needing to open external merchant dashboards. Pull detailed merchant profiles instantly by calling `get_merchant`. This gives you immediate access to historical processing volumes and active account statuses.

Build custom savings proposals in real time

`get_proposal` grabs specific pricing comparisons and savings projections. Your Copilot agent uses this data to help you format customer reports or test API integrations. Use `list_proposals` to track all active sales pitches across your entire team. This ensures everyone is working with the same pricing data.
