Validate Addresses via VS Code Copilot

The `get_municipio` tool allows your team to verify any Brazilian city using its official 7-digit IBGE code. Your agent queries this tool during chat sessions to help developers build and test checkout systems, logistics engines, or customer databases. Committing this MCP Server configuration to your repository ensures every developer on the team uses the same source of truth. VS Code Copilot accesses the server instantly, preventing validation errors across different development environments.

Seed State-Level City Lists

The `get_municipios_por_uf` tool retrieves all municipalities within a state using its 2-letter UF abbreviation. Your agent calls this tool to generate seed files, populate dropdown menus, or write database migrations for Brazilian projects. This removes the need to download and maintain static CSV files of Brazilian geography. The tool delivers fresh data directly to your editor, keeping your local database schemas clean and accurate.

Query Metropolitan Areas in VS Code

The `list_regioes_metropolitanas` tool lists all metropolitan regions by state to help you define complex delivery boundaries. Your agent uses this structural data to write shipping rate calculators or regional marketing filters. You can also use `list_estados` and `list_regioes` to map the broader administrative hierarchy. This ensures your application's geographic routing matches official Brazilian standards.
