Shared rental tools for VS Code Copilot

Stop individual developers from building their own scripts. By committing the server config to the repository, every engineer gets access to `list_items_by_category` and `get_customer` out of the box. It creates a single source of truth for your team. Everyone works with the same tools and the same data structure.

Enterprise-ready booking integrations

Manage your rental business with tools that fit into your existing development lifecycle. The team can use `list_hires_by_status` to monitor the health of your rental fleet during development sprints. This keeps your team focused on shipping features. You spend less time maintaining boilerplate code for your rental API.

Consistent data access for all developers

Your team needs to verify connectivity before they start coding. Use `check_hirepos_status` to ensure the environment is ready for the entire team. This prevents hours of debugging connectivity issues. Everyone starts from the same stable baseline.
