Can I format the transactional emails organically via prompt?

Absolutely. Using the `send_transactional_email` operation, the AI dynamically renders the HTML body from your specific text instructions or leverages pre-made numeric Brevo templates.

Is it possible to assign custom CRM attributes when creating a contact?

Yes. The `create_contact` tool exposes a JSON parameter block mapping fields perfectly (like FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME, CITY) directly alongside their assigned inclusion lists.

Are the SMS dispatched globally?

Yes! Brevo's massive routing handles global cellular numbers, and the `send_sms` command executes that payload identically as long as your Brevo account remains credit-funded and active.

Brevo + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Brevo MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
