How do I securely obtain an API V3 access key from Constant Contact?

To obtain your credentials, access the Constant Contact Developer Portal securely. Log in and go to 'My Applications', then create a new application to generate your API keys and access tokens safely for integration usage.

Can the AI mistakenly delete entire segmented contact lists indiscriminately?

The operations rely exclusively on standard API permissions governed by Constant Contact safeguards. While modification is generally available upon explicit directive via AI inputs, broad sweeping list deletions typically require definitive specific confirmations minimizing occurrences of unintentional data loss.

Does the system inherently provide HTML generating capability for campaigns?

Yes, depending heavily on conversational context provided the backend structure translates Markdown text into valid readable HTML formatting payloads suitable strictly toward sending well structured email models seamlessly.

Constant Contact + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Constant Contact 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.
