Team-Wide Cakemail Access for VS Code

These tools let your team's Copilot agents manage Cakemail campaigns and contacts. By committing `.vscode/mcp.json` to your repo, every developer gets the same tools automatically. A new engineer can ask Copilot to 'draft a new campaign for the product launch' on day one, using the shared `create_campaign` tool. It standardizes how your team interacts with marketing tools.

Automate List and Contact Management

Your agent can build and manage contact lists for you. It has access to `create_contact_list`, `create_contact`, and `list_contacts` to handle audience segmentation right from the editor. This is great for scripting. You can have Copilot write a utility that pulls users from a database and adds them to a new Cakemail list, using the MCP tools to handle the API calls. You just describe the goal.

Monitor Campaigns During Development

Let your Copilot agent fetch campaign details and performance data. The `get_campaign` and `get_analytics` tools bring Cakemail metrics into your development environment. When you're working on a feature tied to a marketing push, you can ask, 'How is the "New Feature" campaign doing?' Copilot fetches the data from this MCP server and shows you, keeping your team in sync.

Setup guide

Set up Cakemail MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
