Calculate Final Costs via the MCP Server

Your whole team can access accurate cost calculations without local setup. Just invoke `simulate_order` to get real-time estimates for shipping and tax rates, standardizing checkout logic across all branches. If a promotion is available, use `add_coupon`. The tool returns the modified cart total, ensuring every developer knows how to calculate final pricing correctly.

Manage Client Data in Teams

The team can rely on consistent access to customer details. Use `get_client_profile` to retrieve necessary information—like contact names and IDs—and commit that data handling logic directly to the shared repository. For new clients, use `create_address`. This function guarantees that all developers are using the same mechanism for saving client location data.

Test Checkout Steps with Copilot Chat

Before deployment, run a full test cycle by calling `get_orderform` to fetch cart contents. Then use this form data in `simulate_payment` to validate the payment steps across all environments. This consistency means every developer follows the same robust workflow when simulating complex transactions on VTEX Checkout.
