Access Team Order Manifests

You can commit the MCP config to `.vscode/mcp.json` and give everyone the `list_orders` tool. Every developer on the team gets instant, standardized access. This ensures that when they need a full list of Track-POD orders, the method is consistent across all repositories.

Validate Specific Shipment Details

When reviewing code related to fulfillment, developers can call `get_order_by_number`. The tool provides specific order details right inside Copilot Chat. This mechanism cuts down on manual lookups because the data is available within your team's standard tooling setup.

Manage Driver and Fleet Data

For onboarding or auditing, the team can use `list_drivers` to pull up all personnel records. This keeps HR and engineering data in sync. Similarly, running `list_vehicles` makes sure everyone is working off the same list of operational assets for Track-POD.
