Share Flodesk tools across your engineering team

The Flodesk MCP Server standardizes email integration workflows across your entire engineering team. Standardize your marketing engineering workflow by committing your configuration directly to your repository using a shared `.vscode/mcp.json` file. Every developer on the project can immediately use Copilot to query `list_segments` or inspect custom fields. It eliminates individual configuration headaches and ensures everyone works with the same API context.

Control email workflows directly from Copilot Chat

This Flodesk integration lets VS Code Copilot manage and trigger marketing funnels from your workspace. Manage complex automation funnels without leaving your active workspace using `list_workflows` and `trigger_workflow` to integrate marketing sequences into your development pipeline. If you are building a signup flow, you can test the trigger logic directly in the chat. Copilot executes the API call to start the workflow for a test email, letting you verify the behavior instantly.

Audit and clean subscriber lists from the editor

This Flodesk integration lets VS Code Copilot audit your subscriber databases directly from the editor. Keep your production database clean using Copilot's agent capabilities by exposing `list_subscribers` and `unsubscribe_subscriber` to let you audit contacts directly from your editor. You can ask Copilot to find specific users or check their subscription status. It queries the API and returns the precise subscriber details, helping you debug contact issues without opening a browser.
