Standardize Freshmarketer MCP Server access for teams

Stop sharing raw API keys across your engineering team. By committing a `.vscode/mcp.json` file to your repository, every developer gets instant, secure access to the Freshmarketer tools through VS Code Copilot. Your team can run `check_account_status` to verify integration health across development environments. It ensures everyone works with the same configuration, eliminating the classic 'works on my machine' issues.

Sync test contacts and lists from your workspace

Creating test cohorts shouldn't require manual database manipulation. Use VS Code Copilot to run `upsert_contact` and inject test profiles directly into your sandbox mailing lists. You can also trigger `create_mailing_list` to isolate your development tests from production databases. Copilot checks the current segments using `list_mailing_lists` to keep your workspace organized.

Audit and test customer journey triggers

Mapping code events to marketing automation flows requires clear visibility. Ask VS Code Copilot to run `list_journeys` to see which active campaigns depend on the backend events you are editing. When you modify a tracking hook, let Copilot execute `post_custom_event` to test the journey trigger end-to-end. It confirms your code changes will fire the correct marketing automation paths in production.
