Manage communication channels via this MCP Server

The `send_message` tool lets your development team trigger SMS and WhatsApp messages directly inside VS Code Copilot. The agent writes the payload and sends it through your active channels. Monitor the resulting threads with `list_conversations` and `list_messages`. This keeps your team updated on customer replies without leaving the editor.

Sync contact directories inside VS Code Copilot

The `create_contact` tool registers new customer profiles directly from raw logs or code files. Copilot extracts the identifiers and formats the JSON payload automatically. Maintain database integrity using `update_contact` and `get_contact` to modify user details. It allows you to fix bad records while reviewing your codebase.

Inspect telephony data from your terminal pane

The `list_calls` tool returns a clean list of all incoming and outgoing voice sessions. Copilot displays this data directly in your chat panel for quick inspection. Drill down into specific issues using `get_call` to read duration and status codes. This helps you troubleshoot voice routing bugs during active coding sessions.
