…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect MailerSend MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect MailerSend to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Team-wide transactional email testing in VS Code Copilot
Commit your MailerSend MCP configuration directly to your repo using `.vscode/mcp.json`. This gives every developer on your team immediate access to MailerSend's `send_transactional_email` inside VS Code Copilot for testing notification pipelines. Instead of sharing a single testing API key or logging into the MailerSend dashboard, developers can trigger test runs directly through the VS Code Copilot chat interface.
Automated domain verification checks for dev teams
Keep your staging and production MailerSend domains in sync across the entire engineering team inside VS Code. VS Code Copilot can list all configured domains using `list_sender_domains` to ensure staging environments are pointing to verified MailerSend senders. When setting up a new microservice, developers can run `verify_sender_domain` through VS Code Copilot to confirm that MailerSend DNS propagation is complete. Running this tool lets your team confirm DNS configuration before deploying.
Inspect recipient status and activity logs
Let your team debug MailerSend delivery complaints directly from their VS Code workspace. VS Code Copilot queries `get_recipient_details` and `list_email_recipients` to verify if a MailerSend recipient has opted out or bounced. By retrieving MailerSend details via `get_sent_message_details`, VS Code Copilot developers can quickly isolate whether a delivery failure was due to an invalid email address or a template syntax error.
