About NumVerify MCP Server

Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire phone validation and identity verification workflow with NumVerify, the global API for phone number intelligence. By connecting NumVerify to your agent, you transform complex validation tasks into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly verify if a number is valid, audit carrier information, and retrieve geographic location data without you ever touching a manual lookup tool. Whether you are cleaning lead lists or verifying user identity, your agent acts as a real-time communications analyst, ensuring your phone data is always verified and accurate.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings NumVerify data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 4 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

What you can do

Phone Auditing — Verify if any international phone number is valid and retrieve detailed metadata, including country and dial codes.
Carrier Oversight — Identify the current carrier for a phone number to maintain a clear view of network distribution.
Location Discovery — Retrieve the geographic location (city/region) associated with a phone number instantly.
Line-type Intelligence — Identify if a number is a mobile, landline, or VoIP line to optimize your communication strategy.
Metadata Integrity — Retrieve official country names and formatting details to maintain strict organizational control over your contact data.

NumVerify + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating NumVerify MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
