Can I verify if an email is a temporary or disposable address?

Yes! Use the `check_disposable_email` tool. The agent will check the email against Clearout's database of known disposable email providers and return a true/false result.

How do I check the progress of a large email list I uploaded?

Use the `get_bulk_verification_status` tool with your list ID. Your agent will return the percentage completed, allowing you to monitor the cleaning process in real-time.

Where do I find my Clearout API Token?

Log in to your Clearout dashboard, navigate to the **Developer** section, and select **API**. You can create and copy your API token from that page.

Clearout.io + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Clearout.io 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.
