Team-wide invoice auditing inside VS Code Copilot

The `list_invoices` tool fetches your complete history of Portuguese tax invoices directly into VS Code Copilot. This MCP Server gives your entire engineering team instant access to real billing states for debugging. Your team can analyze invoice statuses and payment records without leaving the editor. VS Code Copilot uses this live context to help write automated reconciliation scripts that match your actual financial ledger.

Manage shipping and transport guides inside the IDE

The `list_guides` tool retrieves active Portuguese transport and shipping guides directly inside VS Code Copilot. This tool helps developers verify that logistics data aligns perfectly with corresponding invoices. Your agent checks these guides to ensure compliance with local transit regulations. You can automate tracking checks without manual exports or logging into external Portuguese portal dashboards.

Real-time estimate tracking for sales integration

The `list_estimates` tool pulls paginated lists of issued quotes and proposals directly into VS Code Copilot. This tool allows your team to build custom CRMs that track customer conversions. By accessing these proposals, your agent writes code that automatically converts won estimates into active invoices. This prevents manual copy-pasting of pricing details and tax rules across systems.
