Connect Instantly MCP to VS Code Copilot

Team-wide campaign control in VS Code Copilot
This Instantly MCP Server lets your development team pause and resume active sequences from the editor. Running `list_campaigns` gives everyone on the team visibility into what is currently active. If a bug is discovered in a sequence, anyone can trigger `pause_campaign` to halt sending. Once fixed, run `resume_campaign` to get things moving again.
Automate lead management across your workspace
The `add_leads` tool simplifies lead ingestion by letting your team push new contacts directly from the terminal. You can build automated pipelines that feed prospects straight into your sequences. Running `list_leads` helps you verify that the pipeline is working. You can check who has been added without leaving your development workspace.
Monitor sender health across all team domains
The `get_account_stats` tool monitors all your active sender domains to prevent deliverability drops. Your team can run `list_accounts` to see the status of every inbox connected to the platform. This keeps your technical team informed of domain health. You can catch high bounce rates early and protect your primary sending infrastructure.
