Team-wide Customers.ai tools in VS Code
Commit your MCP config to the repo so everyone uses the same `list_xray_leads` tool. Your team sees the same visitor data, keeping your outreach efforts coordinated. Standardize your workflow across the entire engineering department. Every developer gets access to the same Customers.ai endpoints, reducing configuration drift.
Segment leads in VS Code
Apply tags using `add_tag_to_contact` directly from your IDE. You can automate your tagging logic as part of your team's development tasks. Keep your CRM in sync with your codebase. When you update an attribute using `update_contact_attributes`, the change reflects across your organization’s Customers.ai instance.
Direct messaging from VS Code
Trigger `send_text_message` to reach out to leads without leaving VS Code. This allows your team to verify contact workflows during the development phase. Everything is logged through your standard Git process. You maintain visibility into how your team interacts with the Customers.ai API.
