Standardize holiday data in VS Code Copilot

Commit your server config to the repo so your whole team uses the same tools. By calling `get_public_holidays`, every developer gets identical, verified data for their internal logic. This removes the 'it works on my machine' headache for regional date calculations. Your team stays aligned on every deployment.

Manage global logistics via MCP Server

Use `get_next_holidays_worldwide` to track upcoming closures across all your operational regions. The AI processes these results to flag potential shipping or server maintenance risks. It turns your editor into a coordination hub. You catch conflicts before they hit your CI/CD pipeline.

Verify country support in VS Code Copilot

Check which regions are covered by the API using `list_available_countries`. It ensures your logic is consistent with the data source and prevents runtime errors in production. Your agent handles the verification for you. You just focus on the core business logic.
