Run team-wide ledger validation in Copilot

The `list_ledger_accounts` tool pulls your unified accounting categories directly into the VS Code Copilot chat window. Developers verify that their database migrations match actual ledger codes without leaving the editor. By sharing a `.vscode/mcp.json` configuration file, your entire engineering team gains access to these MCP tools. This shared setup prevents mismatched accounting categories across different development branches.

Debug billing flows with this MCP Server

The `list_purchase_invoices` tool lets you inspect incoming bills directly inside your VS Code Copilot environment. Your agent analyzes the structure of these documents to help you write accurate parsing algorithms. When errors occur, the agent cross-references the data with your active tax rates using `list_tax_rates`. This debugging loop isolates integration issues without requiring manual API requests.

Automate recurring invoice testing

The `list_recurring_invoices` tool retrieves your active subscription templates straight into the VS Code Copilot interface. Your agent inspects these templates to write automated cron jobs that match your accounting schedule. It uses the template IDs to draft test cycles using `create_sales_invoice` programmatically. This ensures your automated subscription billing logic matches your official bookkeeper templates.
