Run `list_campaigns` to see what is currently running. You can quickly spot active sends or draft statuses without leaving the editor. Use `get_campaign` to pull specific details. It allows you to debug email issues right next to the code that generated them.

Use `add_member` to test your onboarding flows. By running this in the editor, you verify that your code correctly interfaces with the Mailchimp API.

Setup guide

Set up Mailchimp MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
2

Add the Mailchimp MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.
4

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the Mailchimp tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Mailchimp transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
