How to Use the NiftyImages MCP in VS Code Copilot

Yes, you can run updatepsdimage through Copilot to modify text and image layers. Copilot will construct the API payload and apply the changes to your remote PSD template.

Your agent runs the listimages tool to fetch all personalized images associated with your account. It displays the names and IDs directly in your chat sidebar for easy reference.

Q: How do I remove stale test data from my personalization databases?

You use deletedatastorerecord to target and wipe specific entries. This keeps your testing environment clean and prevents your production databases from bloat.

Sync Countdown Timers with VS Code Copilot

`update_timer` lets your engineering team manage live countdown deadlines directly from their shared workspace. When a release schedule shifts, any developer on the team can instruct Copilot to adjust the dynamic image target date without logging into an external dashboard. This MCP Server works via a team-wide config file, ensuring everyone has access to the same tools. The agent uses `list_widgets` to verify the target widget ID before pushing the time update to your live email campaign.

Audit Campaign Metrics inside Your Editor

`get_image_stats` retrieves real-time performance metrics for your dynamic email assets directly within Copilot Chat using our custom MCP. Your team can run quick checks on open rates and image loads without switching to a web browser. By pairing this with `get_widget_stats`, your developers can quickly identify slow-loading assets or broken dynamic images. Copilot parses the raw JSON response into a clean summary right inside your chat pane.

Manage Personalization Datastores in Copilot

`add_datastore_record` inserts test data into your dynamic image personalization tables directly from your terminal workspace. This lets your QA team verify how personalized graphics render under different user attributes before running a full deployment. The tool calls `list_datastore_fields` to pull the database schema directly into Copilot. This prevents syntax mismatches when writing custom dynamic image layers for your email templates.
