Connect Appier MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Appier to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Share Appier tools across teams in VS Code Copilot
The Appier MCP Server exposes `list_campaigns` and `get_campaign_analytics` to your entire engineering team via VS Code Copilot workspace settings. By committing the configuration to your repository, every developer gets instant access to live Appier campaign performance inside VS Code Copilot. Your VS Code Copilot agent uses these tools to pull live Appier statistics directly into your chat. This keeps your developers and marketing teams aligned on actual Appier conversion numbers without leaving VS Code Copilot.
Inspect predictive models in your editor
Calling `list_predictions` and `list_segments` allows VS Code Copilot to query your active Appier machine learning models and user groups. Developers can quickly check how Appier user cohorts are defined inside VS Code Copilot without logging into a separate web console. The VS Code Copilot agent reads the output of `get_audience` to verify target Appier demographics. This speeds up the process of building custom Appier dashboard integrations inside VS Code Copilot.
Monitor conversion events natively
Running `list_conversions` lets VS Code Copilot fetch active Appier conversion event schemas directly during your development cycle. You can make sure your telemetry endpoints match what the Appier marketing platform expects while working in VS Code Copilot. Because the Appier tools run securely inside the VS Code Copilot editor, you avoid manually testing API requests. Your VS Code Copilot agent checks the live Appier endpoint and tells you exactly what parameters are missing.
