Perplexity

Team-wide campaign control

The `pause_outreach_campaign` tool allows developers to halt broken email sequences directly from their editor. If an engineer spots a critical bug in the tracking links, they tell Copilot to stop the campaign immediately. Nobody wastes time logging into the marketing portal. Teams track what is running using `list_outreach_campaigns` and `get_campaign_details`. Because the configuration lives in .vscode/mcp.json, every developer has instant access to the same live marketing context. The whole squad stays aligned.

VS Code Copilot MCP Server messaging

The `get_message_content` tool pulls exact email copy into your workspace. When marketing complains about formatting issues, your agent fetches the raw HTML of the sent message. You debug the rendering problem using real production assets. Engineers pair this with `list_outreach_messages` to audit entire communication threads. Copilot analyzes the sent and received logs to help you write better internal reporting dashboards.

Prospect sync and verification

The `add_prospects_to_campaign` tool accepts a JSON payload to register new recipients. Your agent helps draft the backend service that formats this data correctly. You test the integration instantly by having Copilot fire a sample request. Verification happens via `list_campaign_recipients` and `list_campaign_leads`. The AI checks if the test users populated correctly and whether they hit qualified status. You validate the entire sync logic locally.

Setup guide

Set up Mailshake 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 Mailshake 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 Mailshake tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Mailshake transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mailshake-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }

Common questions about Mailshake MCP in VS Code Copilot

Commit a .vscode/mcp.json file to your repository with the server details. Every engineer who pulls the repo will automatically inherit the Mailshake tools in their Copilot Chat.

It can. The get_lead_history tool exposes the timeline of any specified contact. Developers use this to mock up realistic event streams for internal CRM features.

No. You must run VS Code 1.96 or higher to support the MCP protocol. Ensure your team updates their editors before pushing the configuration.

You must provide the specific campaign identifier. The agent usually runs list_outreach_campaigns first to find the correct ID before executing the pause command.

Your recipient lists and lead histories remain strictly within the zero-trust architecture. The MCP Server processes the sync requests ephemerally, meaning Vinkius never stores your proprietary contact databases.
