Manage Live Orders in VS Code Copilot

This GrabFood Partner MCP Server hooks your VS Code Copilot environment directly into your active restaurant queue. Developers can monitor and test GrabFood order states by calling `list_orders` inside the VS Code Copilot chat pane. You can accept or reject new GrabFood tickets programmatically using `accept_order` based on your system's logic in VS Code Copilot. For GrabFood logistics management in VS Code Copilot, you control dispatch times via `update_ready_time` and signal drivers with `mark_order_ready`. If testing edge cases, the VS Code Copilot agent verifies cancel safety using `check_order_cancelable` before executing `cancel_order`.

Push Menu Updates from Your Editor

This GrabFood Partner MCP integration lets you synchronize your local catalog database with GrabFood directly inside VS Code Copilot. You can run `batch_update_menu` to modify specific GrabFood items, prices, or stock status on the fly using VS Code Copilot. This prevents you from having to log into the merchant web portal for simple daily edits. When deploying major GrabFood menu revisions, you use `update_menu` within VS Code Copilot to overwrite the entire catalog. The agent validates your JSON structure against GrabFood's schema to ensure a clean deployment.

Control Store Status and Promotions

This GrabFood Partner toolset provides direct control over your store's online availability and advertising campaigns inside VS Code Copilot. If your kitchen crashes, you can shut down incoming GrabFood orders instantly with `pause_store` from VS Code Copilot. You then check the current operational state by calling `get_store_status`. The VS Code Copilot agent also handles GrabFood marketing operations by letting you trigger `create_campaign` for new discounts. You can audit your active promotions and performance by listing campaigns with `list_campaigns`.
