Deploy and update email templates safely with this MCP Server

This VS Code Copilot MCP Server allows your team to manage newsletter layouts directly from your repository. Use `create_template` to upload new HTML files from your workspace. If you need to patch an existing layout in VS Code Copilot, `update_template` pushes changes instantly. This workflow prevents team members from overwriting each other's work in the web UI.

Monitor deliverability and bounces in your editor

Keep an eye on list health during development in VS Code Copilot. Your team can run `list_bounces` to see which addresses are failing and keep the database clean.
