Validate Airship audiences in VS Code Copilot

The `list_static_lists` tool fetches your uploaded CSV audiences directly into your VS Code Copilot chat using this MCP Server. Team members can verify that the correct audience list is selected for an upcoming campaign without needing administrative access to the Airship console. After selecting a list, use `get_segment_details` to check the exact filtering logic applied to that audience. This ensures your team writes code that targets the correct user demographics.

Monitor push delivery from your editor

The `get_push_status` tool queries the delivery state of your sent notifications directly from the VS Code Copilot terminal interface. Your engineering team can monitor active deployments and catch delivery spikes or failures during high-volume send windows. If delivery rates drop, you can run `list_channels` to inspect active device connections. This helps your team quickly determine if a delivery drop is due to expired push tokens or network configuration changes.

Verify named user associations via MCP Server

The `list_named_users` tool displays all named users associated with your mobile application. When debugging user login flows, your team uses VS Code Copilot to call this tool and confirm that new sign-ups are registering correctly in your messaging platform. If a user is missing, call `associate_named_user` to manually link their device channel to their profile. This allows your developers to resolve registration bugs during testing cycles.
