Validate email lists inside your VS Code Copilot session

Clean up your lead databases without leaving your development environment. You can ask VS Code Copilot to run `verify_email` on any list of addresses found in your workspace files. This helps teams maintain low bounce rates by scrubbing lists before committing them to the repository. The MCP Server processes each validation check directly through the active editor pane.

Pull live campaign statistics into your team workspace

Keep your engineering team aligned with active marketing efforts. Ask VS Code Copilot to execute `list_campaigns` to pull real-time delivery rates and sequence progress. The agent can drill down into specific metrics using `get_campaign` to diagnose deliverability issues. This allows developers to debug webhook integrations with actual campaign data.

Search and import prospect records into your local files

Quickly populate your local seed databases or test suites. You can tell VS Code Copilot to run `search_prospects` with custom filters via the MCP Server to retrieve specific lead profiles. The agent then writes the retrieved prospects directly into your test fixtures or JSON files. You get accurate, real-world data shapes without manual data entry.
