Share MarketMan tools across your team in VS Code Copilot

The `list_inventory` and `get_count_sheets` tools verify active kitchen counts directly in the Copilot chat panel. Standardize your team's development workflow by committing a shared configuration file to your git repository. This MCP Server setup ensures every developer on the project has immediate access to real kitchen data. You spend less time debugging mock schemas and more time shipping code.

Audit restaurant recipes during development

The `list_recipes` tool pulls actual plate configurations and ingredient yields into VS Code Copilot. Testing menu engineering algorithms requires realistic costing structures. Your agent can analyze these structures to help you write cleaner calculation logic. This eliminates the guesswork when building financial reporting features.

Track waste events in your terminal

The `get_waste_events` tool inspects the structure of kitchen loss logs inside your editor. Using live data helps you build precise data pipelines that feed your company's ERP system. This local MCP connection makes testing easy. Having direct tool access means you can test edge cases with real-world waste data. Your pipelines will handle missing fields and volume anomalies before hitting production.
