Standardized tax tools for VS Code Copilot

Commit `calculate_employee_withholdings` to your repo's mcp.json so every developer has the same tax math. You ensure consistency across your entire engineering team. This removes the headache of individual setup. Everyone works with the same precise payroll logic from day one.

Manage employer liabilities as a team

Integrate `calculate_employer_liabilities` into your shared configuration for VS Code Copilot. Your team builds tax-compliant features without manual verification. It turns a complex financial task into a simple function call. Your code stays clean while the MCP handles the changing tax regulations.

Generate payroll reports in VS Code

Access `get_payroll_summary` through your shared MCP config to pull stats directly into your repo. You build reports that stay in sync with your actual payroll data. Your engineers spend less time chasing numbers and more time shipping code. It makes data-driven development the default for your team.
