How to Use the Fax.Plus MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we share the Fax.Plus configuration across our team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root and commit it to Git. Once your team pulls the update, VS Code Copilot automatically configures the MCP server for everyone.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot retrieve our transmission history from Fax.Plus?

Yes, you can ask the chat assistant to run listfaxes to pull your history. The agent can then use getfaxdetails to inspect specific files and show you delivery logs.

Q: Can I check our remaining plan balance?

Yes, tell the agent to run getaccountinfo. It will fetch your current account tier and transmission limits, displaying them directly inside your active chat window.

Equip your entire engineering team to send and track digital faxes directly inside VS Code Copilot via shared repository configurations.

Send faxes straight from VS Code Copilot

The `send_fax` tool transmits digital documents to any E.164 phone number directly from your active editor. VS Code Copilot reads your workspace files, prepares the payload, and initiates the transmission with a simple chat prompt. Your team doesn't need to log into a browser or share external credentials. The agent manages the outbound queue over this MCP integration, making document delivery a natural part of your development environment.

Track queue states inside your editor

The `list_outbox_jobs` tool monitors active transmissions while `cancel_outbox_job` stops pending jobs before they reach the phone networks. This MCP Server displays these live statuses directly in your chat panel to save you from context switching. If a transmission fails, tell your agent to look up the details. You can diagnose delivery issues instantly without leaving your active code file.

Manage telephony infrastructure using this MCP Server

The `search_available_numbers` tool queries active phone lines while `list_fax_numbers` retrieves your assigned numbers. VS Code Copilot pulls this live inventory directly into your workspace so you can configure routing rules with real data. This setup keeps your configuration files accurate and up to date. Your agent handles the API calls, letting you focus on building the integration instead of manually copying phone numbers from a web portal.
