Deploy the Mailsoftly MCP Server to your whole team

You do not want every developer managing their own API keys and local scripts. Commit a configuration file to your repository. The moment an engineer pulls the repo, Copilot gets immediate access to your marketing infrastructure. This standardizes how your team interacts with subscriber data. Anyone working on the growth team can ask Copilot to run `list_subscriber_collections` or `list_marketing_campaigns` without needing separate platform credentials.

Build email integrations faster

Writing code to manage contacts is tedious. You can tell Copilot to handle the boilerplate by testing the MCP tools directly. The agent uses `create_base_contact` to insert a test user, then follows up with `add_contact_to_list` to verify the routing logic. Because Copilot executes these actions in real-time, it sees exactly what the API expects and returns. It uses those live responses to write accurate types and error handling for your application.

Fetch campaign performance without leaving the editor

Developers rarely want to log into a marketing dashboard to check if their automated sends are working. Copilot can execute `list_sent_history` to pull the recent batch of deliveries right into your terminal window. If a specific blast looks wrong, dig deeper. Your agent runs `get_campaign_details` to check the setup, followed by `get_campaign_click_data` to see if users are actually hitting the links. You diagnose delivery issues while looking at the code that triggered them.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Mailsoftly MCP in VS Code Copilot

Open the command palette and select the user configuration option, or create a file in your workspace. Add the MCP server details and switch your chat to Agent mode.

Yes. By committing the configuration file to your shared repository, every developer gets the same tools. They can instantly query campaign data without manual setup.

No. The current toolset only supports adding users via `create_base_contact` and assigning them to groups. There is no endpoint exposed for deletion.

It removes friction. You can trigger a test send using `send_campaign_to_all` and immediately check the resulting logs in your local environment.

The integration strictly handles the email addresses and campaign metrics you explicitly request. The MCP sandbox ensures Copilot cannot indiscriminately scrape your entire subscriber database or expose PII to third-party telemetry.
