Run Local Falcon MCP Server tools in VS Code Copilot

This Local Falcon MCP Server uses `list_locations` to let your entire development team query active business profiles directly from VS Code Copilot. By committing the configuration to your repo, every developer gets instant access to Local Falcon ranking data inside VS Code. Your team can write automated QA scripts in VS Code Copilot that verify Google Maps coverage. VS Code Copilot calls `get_location` to pull physical address details directly into the workspace, ensuring everyone works with the same Local Falcon coordinates.

Build automated rank checkers inside VS Code Copilot

The `run_scan` tool allows your team to test Local Falcon search visibility queries directly from the VS Code Copilot chat panel. VS Code Copilot triggers the grid scan and helps you write scripts to parse the coordinate outputs. You can quickly write cron jobs in VS Code Copilot that check map performance. VS Code Copilot uses `get_scan_results` to show you how the Local Falcon API structures its grid points, making it easy to build alerts for ranking drops.

Generate client-ready reports in your editor

The `get_scan_report` tool extracts formatted Local Falcon performance summaries directly into your active VS Code Copilot session. VS Code Copilot uses this data to write markdown summaries or generate email drafts for your clients. If a client asks for historical proof of local search visibility, you ask VS Code Copilot to run `get_trend_report`. It pulls the Local Falcon timeline data instantly, helping you draft a progress report inside VS Code without switching to a web browser.
