Team Access to Product Catalogs

Configure the entire engineering team with product listing capabilities by committing `list_shoplazza_products` to `.vscode/mcp.json`. Every developer gets instant access to the full catalog view. If you only need details on one SKU, use `get_shoplazza_product`. This ensures that every person on the team uses the same, standardized mechanism to pull product data, avoiding ad-hoc API calls.

Standardize Customer Data Retrieval

For customer service modules, standardize access using `get_shoplazza_customer`. The agent allows developers to write code that accepts a user ID and instantly gets the profile data. This keeps all team members consistent. Want to audit your whole user base? Use `list_shoplazza_customers` in shared code snippets. It makes sure everyone is working with the same defined dataset structure.

Manage Full Order Lifecycle Data

When building checkout flows, use `get_shoplazza_order` to retrieve a complete transaction history object. This ensures that every developer writing payment logic uses the accurate, standardized data model. For reporting features, commit `list_shoplazza_orders`. It gives your team an easily accessible array of recent sales for building shared dashboard components.
