Manage GoFood menus inside VS Code Copilot

The GoFood MCP Server integrates directly with VS Code Copilot via your workspace configuration file. Your entire engineering team gains immediate access to `get_catalog` and `update_catalog` without individual setup steps. Developers use Copilot to write automation scripts that call `update_menu_stocks` across multiple locations. You ensure your team works with the same live restaurant schemas.

Debug order states inside VS Code Copilot Chat

This server brings `accept_order` and `mark_order_prepared` directly into your VS Code interface. Your team can simulate and debug order fulfillment pipelines without switching to external web portals. When testing cancellation logic, Copilot invokes `cancel_order` to verify that your webhook handlers react correctly. You speed up integration testing by keeping everything inside the editor.

Audit your GoFood store network from your editor

You query your store network using `list_linked_outlets` and `get_outlet_info` directly within VS Code Copilot. This gives your team instant visibility into which storefronts are currently active. The editor uses `link_outlet` and `unlink_outlet` to manage your development environments. You keep your local databases aligned with the actual GoFood merchant registry.
