Team-wide payment testing in VS Code

Commit `.vscode/mcp.json` to your repository so your entire engineering team can access the Mercado Pago MCP Server. VS Code Copilot uses `list_payment_methods` to let developers verify active payment options without leaving the editor. This shared setup ensures everyone tests checkout behaviors against the exact same API constraints. No more tracking down outdated API keys or endpoint documentation.

Resolve payment bugs inside Copilot Chat

Debug transaction failures by querying this MCP Server directly from your editor. Copilot uses `get_payment` to inspect specific transaction states when a test fails. Instead of opening an external browser to check logs, you get the raw error code or status payload inside your chat panel. It makes debugging payment loops incredibly fast.

Manage customer onboarding via editor commands

Test your signup flows by calling `create_customer` directly from VS Code Copilot. The agent creates test profiles and returns the customer ID so you can link it to your local database. You can then associate test cards using `create_card` or pull up the profile with `get_customer` to verify your data relational mappings are correct.
