Verify Campaign Metrics in VS Code Copilot

The `get_campaign_metrics` tool retrieves real-time performance data inside VS Code Copilot, letting your team audit campaign success directly in their workspace. Engineers can verify delivery rates and subscriber interactions without needing access to the marketing dashboard. Combining this with `list_campaigns` allows VS Code Copilot to analyze historical campaign trends. This helps developers write analytical scripts that parse real data, ensuring your internal reporting tools match production numbers perfectly.

Audit User Data and Lists with this MCP Server

The `get_user` tool pulls active customer records directly into VS Code Copilot using this MCP Server. Your team can query an email address to inspect custom attributes, ensuring user profiles are structured correctly before deploying new sync scripts. Your VS Code Copilot agent references this data alongside `list_lists` and `list_message_types` to debug subscription logic. Developers can quickly spot why a user is missing a tag without leaving their active code file.

Inspect Automation Workflows and Webhooks

The `list_workflows` tool reveals live marketing automation pathways directly to VS Code Copilot. This allows your team to map out critical user events and ensure your code triggers the correct automated journeys. Integrating this with `list_webhooks` lets VS Code Copilot audit active API endpoints. You can immediately see where user events are being sent, making it simple to trace delivery failures or debug custom integrations.
