Bulk message validation inside VS Code Copilot

The `send_template_message` tool executes template deliveries directly from your active VS Code Copilot session. Your team can run test payloads against live numbers using this MCP Server to verify variable mapping before committing code to production. Copilot uses this tool to check that your JSON strings match the required variables. This prevents runtime crashes in your main application by catching formatting issues during development.

Manage team contact databases via MCP Server tools

The `list_contacts` tool fetches your current directory of WhatsApp leads directly into the Copilot chat panel. When writing database sync scripts, your team can use this tool to inspect the exact schema of your contact records. You can also trigger `create_contact` to test how your system registers new signups. This makes it easy to align your local database schemas with your live DoubleTick production environment.

Inspect template structures inside your editor

The `list_templates` tool displays all your approved WhatsApp message templates directly within VS Code Copilot. Instead of logging into the Meta developer portal, your team reads template structures right next to their codebase. You can pair this with `list_groups` to target specific test audiences. This workflow ensures your team always writes integration code against up-to-date templates and group IDs.
