MCP Server for Creating Items (Zoho Inventory)

For the whole team, you can enforce standardized item creation. Use the `create_new_item` tool through your shared `.vscode/mcp.json`. This requires submitting a JSON body containing all necessary product details. Every developer gets access to this exact capability, ensuring everyone follows the same process when adding products to Zoho Inventory.

Getting Item and Order Details with MCP Server

When writing code that needs specific data points, you call `get_item_details` or `get_sales_order_details`. The Copilot Agent fetches the real record data. This means your team doesn't rely on outdated documentation; they write against live, verified inventory and order information.

Listing Zoho Inventory Records for Team Use

Need a full picture of current stock? The `list_inventory_items` tool pulls all item records. This capability is available to everyone in the team. You can also use `list_sales_orders` or `list_purchase_orders` to gather batch data for reporting scripts.
