Can I send transactional SMS messages via the AI agent?

Yes! You can specify the recipient's phone number and the message content, and the AI will trigger the eSputnik SMS endpoint.

How do I query my contact segments?

Ask the agent to 'List all contact groups'. It will retrieve your active segments directly from the eSputnik API.

Does it support adding new contacts dynamically?

Absolutely. You can request the AI to add an email or phone number to your active directory instantly.

eSputnik + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating eSputnik 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.
