Team-wide Clickatell MCP Server configurations

This Clickatell MCP Server exposes `get_account_balance` directly to your VS Code Copilot chat window. By committing `.vscode/mcp.json` to your repo, your entire engineering team can check active funding limits. No developer needs to log into the Clickatell console to verify credentials. VS Code Copilot reads the shared configuration and runs SMS operations securely during pair programming sessions.

Verify real carrier delivery statuses

Debugging SMS delivery failures is direct when VS Code Copilot calls `get_delivery_status` to pull live carrier properties using this MCP integration. The extension performs structural extraction of properties driving final carrier statuses. If you suspect a routing issue, VS Code Copilot triggers `test_carrier_coverage` to run automated validation checks against the target MSISDN. You pinpoint carrier-side blockages from your terminal panel.

Control outbound campaign queues from VS Code Copilot

Auditing active campaign queues is handled by `list_scheduled_campaigns` inside VS Code Copilot using this active MCP tool. The agent fetches your active marketing arrays directly into your workspace. If an automated script goes rogue, VS Code Copilot executes `cancel_queued_message` to vaporize scheduled drops before they drain your account balance. You keep your team's budget safe without manual intervention.
