Standardize Stock Updates Across Teams

By committing the MCP config to your repo, every developer gets access to `update_woocommerce_inventory`. This tool updates WooCommerce inventory counts directly from the Copilot Chat agent. It ensures that everyone on the team uses the same method and parameters for syncing stock.

Centralized Inventory Management via Repo

Need to update a product? The tool requires you to provide the numeric Product ID and the desired `stockQuantity`. This capability is managed at the team level through your `.vscode/mcp.json` file. This means inventory updates are part of the shared, version-controlled development process.

Handle Complex Variations in Team Code

The `update_woocommerce_inventory` tool handles variations by requiring a specific variation ID. This capability is critical for teams managing complex product catalogs. Developers write code knowing they can target individual components of a variable product using this required identifier.
