Test custom event tracking inside VS Code Copilot

`track_server_event` allows your development team to validate custom backend events without leaving VS Code Copilot. Instead of writing throwaway test scripts, you can ask Copilot to trigger a test event and inspect the Gainsight PX payload. This keeps your focus on the code. The MCP Server uses `verify_api_connection` to ensure your workspace credentials are valid before firing requests to Gainsight PX. It prevents dirty test data from polluting your production analytics environment.

Sync user and account profiles during development

`identify_px_user` updates user profiles in your Gainsight PX environment directly through the VS Code Copilot agent. If you are developing a new registration flow, you can test how user attributes sync in real time. It removes the guesswork from your integration work. You can also use `identify_px_account` to update organization-level metadata from VS Code Copilot. It ensures your Gainsight PX account-based tracking is solid before you push to production.

Manage product feature maps via this MCP Server

`list_product_features` displays your entire Gainsight PX feature catalog directly inside the VS Code Copilot chat panel. Developers can quickly look up feature keys to ensure their tracking code matches the product manager's setup. It eliminates naming discrepancies across teams. The agent can also query `list_px_products` to help you organize tracking across complex multi-product environments. It keeps your VS Code Copilot team aligned on a single Gainsight PX source of truth.
