# How to Source Rare Items with Copilot

Find hard-to-find products by checking which marketplaces serve your region and searching all available sources. Copilot is best when you want the source coverage map and search results as structured workspace data for ongoing reference.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter in Copilot: {"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}
2. Define the item and target regions, specifying your preferred output format for the source map and results.
3. Run `source_coverage` to map active marketplaces, then `search_listings` to sweep all available sources.
4. Ask Copilot to structure the output as a source coverage table plus a ranked results list, ready for workspace storage.

## Example Prompt

```
Use marketplace-search to find a Technics SL-1200 MK2 turntable in Europe. Map source coverage as a table, search all sources, and return structured results I can save to my workspace for tracking.
```

## Tips

- Save the source coverage map as a reference file so you do not need to rerun it every session.
- Ask Copilot to tag results with confidence levels based on title match quality.
