Test transactional email templates in VS Code Copilot

The `send_transactional_email` tool integrates with VS Code Copilot to let your team trigger test Loops emails directly from the chat interface. Developers can pass JSON variables through VS Code Copilot to verify that dynamic Loops templates render correctly. By committing the Loops MCP configuration to your repository, every engineer on the team can run these tests in VS Code Copilot. This eliminates the need for shared API testing collections outside of your VS Code Copilot workspace when debugging Loops.

Automate contact lifecycle testing with MCP Server

The `create_contact` tool allows VS Code Copilot to validate Loops contact creation logic during your local testing cycles. The VS Code Copilot agent runs this tool to ensure new user sign-ups are correctly indexed in Loops. If your application updates a user's group, VS Code Copilot can call `update_contact` to confirm the changes reflect in your Loops audience list. This keeps your local VS Code Copilot development environment perfectly in sync with your Loops marketing platform.

Inspect Loops suppression lists directly in VS Code Copilot

The `get_contact_suppression` tool checks if a specific email address is suppressed from receiving mail in Loops via VS Code Copilot. VS Code Copilot runs this query via the MCP Server to help developers debug why a test user isn't receiving Loops transactional notifications. You can also use `list_mailing_lists` inside VS Code Copilot to verify which Loops subscriber lists are active. This prevents runtime errors in your VS Code Copilot projects caused by targeting invalid Loops list IDs.
