Inspect transactional messages inside VS Code Copilot

The `list_messages` tool lets VS Code Copilot retrieve your batch and transactional message templates directly in your editor. You can check subject lines and sender profiles without switching to a web browser. When debugging automated notifications, VS Code Copilot uses `list_automation_messages` to verify which workflows are currently active. This lets your engineering team audit live messaging configurations in real time.

Team-wide audience lookups with this MCP Server

The `list_audience_segments` tool allows VS Code Copilot to fetch segment definitions and subscriber counts for your team. By committing this server config to your repo, every developer gets instant access to audience data. VS Code Copilot runs `list_contacts` to pull real-time subscriber opt-in statuses into your shared workspace. This ensures your team is always developing with accurate, live compliance data.

Verify account configurations during code review

The `get_account_details` tool lets VS Code Copilot fetch system-level account identifiers and core platform settings. You can quickly verify that your code is targeting the correct environment during reviews. VS Code Copilot queries `list_supplementary_data` to inspect your custom personalization tables. This MCP integration helps your team verify that dynamic email scripts are referencing valid table schemas.
