How to Use the StayFi MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I use StayFi with VS Code Copilot for development?

You configure the MCP Server in .vscode/mcp.json. Once set up, your team can prompt Copilot Chat to call tools like listproperties and receive live data right in the chat window.

Q: What kind of StayFi data does this MCP Server manage?

The server manages everything from guest records (via getguest) and network configurations (listnetworks) to property metadata. It's a central point for all StayFi operations.

Q: If I need to check the overall health of StayFi, what should I use?

Start with checkstayfistatus. If that passes, then you can proceed to more complex tasks like running getanalytics to assess performance.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot list all StayFi guests for the team?

Yes. The listguests tool pulls a complete roster of registered users, which is vital for any development or data validation task your team needs to perform.

Manage Property Data with StayFi and VS Code Copilot

Need to check if a property exists? Use `list_properties` to get all available IDs, then call `get_property` for deep details. This ensures every developer on the team uses the same source of truth. It also helps you gather operational metrics with `get_property_stats`, letting your whole team track key performance indicators without leaving VS Code.

Gathering Guest and Network Info via MCP Server

Your team can pull guest lists using `list_guests` or narrow it down with `search_guests`. This is essential for any development requiring user context. The agent also supports `get_network`, letting you check the live status of WiFi networks across all properties. This consistency means every developer knows how to access real StayFi data.

Marketing Automation with StayingFi and VS Code Copilot

To track marketing efforts, your team can use `get_email_stats` for email collection counts. You can also grab a high-level view using `get_analytics`. The MCP Server makes these tools available to every developer on the shared config. This central access ensures that all code related to StayFi's marketing goals is built with consistent data access.
