Team-wide MCP Server automation in VS Code Copilot

`search_orders` queries your store's sales records directly from the shared team chat. Developers can instantly pull transaction profiles to debug order routing systems without leaving the workspace. `get_order` retrieves specific transaction payloads to diagnose API payload discrepancies. Having this data inside the chat window prevents team members from sharing sensitive JSON files over external chat apps.

Handle claims and returns collaboratively

`get_claim` pulls dispute details directly into your shared editor environment. Your team can analyze dispute reasons and write automated resolution rules based on live API responses. `get_return_details` fetches the tracking and status of returned packages. This allows your developers to build automated refund triggers that execute the moment a package arrives at the warehouse.

Monitor shipping performance and SLAs

`get_shipment_sla` tracks delivery commitments to help your team build warning systems for delayed orders. Developers can verify SLA logic using real-time carrier data. `get_shipment` exposes carrier milestones directly to your workspace. This helps you build custom tracking dashboards that update buyers automatically.
