How to Use the Bureau24 MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: Can VS Code Copilot check my Bureau24 messages?

Yes, your agent can run listmessages to display recent notes from your receptionist. It helps you stay updated on client calls while working on your codebase.

Q: What tool does the agent use to look up a specific call's details?

The agent calls getcall with the specific call ID. This retrieves the exact timestamp, caller ID, and receptionist notes for that event.

Share Bureau24 configs across your engineering team

The `list_calls` tool lets your team verify Bureau24 webhook deliveries and call logs inside VS Code Copilot. Using VS Code Copilot, any developer can inspect live receptionist data without leaving their workspace. This shared environment ensures everyone on the team uses the same Bureau24 API endpoints. Developers can test Bureau24 integrations locally in VS Code Copilot without needing to pass around manual API tokens.

Debug receptionist routing rules using this MCP Server

The `list_instructions` tool lets your VS Code Copilot agent verify how your Bureau24 virtual secretary handles incoming callers. Your agent uses this MCP Server to check exactly how calls are routed based on your current status. If routing rules seem off, the agent can call `get_secretary_status` inside VS Code Copilot to see what is currently set. It simplifies debugging Bureau24 phone workflows without leaving your code editor.

Manage contact records during team testing

The `create_contact` tool lets your VS Code Copilot agent add test numbers to Bureau24 during integration runs. Your agent can run this tool to keep your test contacts in sync with your live receptionist directory. You can also call `list_contacts` in VS Code Copilot to verify that your database migrations match the address book. It prevents discrepancies between your production database and your Bureau24 virtual secretary.
