Share Gumroad store tools across your dev team

Commit your store configuration to Git so every developer on your team has instant access to customer data. VS Code Copilot reads your shared MCP configuration and exposes tools like `list_products` to everyone in the workspace. Team members can quickly check product IDs and pricing structures without needing individual admin access to the web dashboard. This keeps your developers focused on writing code instead of hunting down API credentials.

Verify licenses inside VS Code Copilot

Debug customer license issues without leaving your shared codebase. VS Code Copilot runs `verify_license` to check if a specific key is active, letting you quickly diagnose why a user's local application is failing to activate. The agent pulls the precise registration details directly into your chat panel. It cross-references this with `get_sale` to verify if the payment cleared, helping your support engineers solve issues in one step.

Manage store payouts and customer lists in the editor

Keep track of team revenue goals by querying your store's financial history. VS Code Copilot uses `list_payouts` over the MCP connection to pull your recent payout records, letting you verify transaction matching right alongside your accounting scripts. You can also ask the agent to run `list_subscribers` to inspect active memberships. It prints the subscriber roster in your terminal or chat window, making it easy to run quick audits on your recurring revenue.
