How to Use the MerchantSpring MCP in VS Code Copilot

Add the MCP Server to your .vscode/mcp.json file and commit it to your Git repository. Every team member with the Copilot extension will instantly gain access to the tools.

Standardize store data access with this MCP Server

`list_stores` gives your entire engineering team a shared view of connected marketplace accounts. By committing the server config to your repository, every developer queries the same store lists without sharing manual API keys. The `get_store_details` tool lets developers inspect specific metadata inside the Copilot chat. This keeps everyone aligned on store configurations during multi-tenant feature rollouts.

Validate order pipelines with live data

`list_store_orders` retrieves live order feeds directly into your VS Code environment. Your team uses these real payloads to verify tax calculations and shipping logic without logging into staging dashboards. With `get_sales_summary`, developers can audit financial reporting features against actual marketplace numbers. Copilot writes the validation scripts using the exact data structures returned by the API.

Track operational alerts and product lists

`list_merchant_alerts` pulls critical marketplace errors directly into your coding workspace. When writing background workers, you can test how your system reacts to active seller account issues. The `list_store_products` tool exposes catalog data for debugging listing syncs. Your team can run this tool to check if parent-child SKU relationships are formatting correctly before deploying changes.
