Sync BigMailer brand data across your VS Code Copilot team

This MCP Server uses `list_brands` and `get_brand` to let your team query brand configurations directly from the chat sidebar. By committing the server configuration to your repository, every developer gets instant access to the same brand assets. You can quickly find specific brand setups or list custom fields using `get_brand_properties` to ensure your team writes consistent integration code.

Verify contact lists directly in VS Code Copilot

The integration uses `list_contact_lists` and `list_contacts` to let you inspect your subscriber databases without opening an external browser. Your team can check if test accounts exist or verify list structures directly inside the editor. If you need to seed your test environment, this MCP Server calls `add_contact` to push mock users directly into your staging lists. It keeps your development cycle fast and contained within one window.
