Coordinate Team SMS via VS Code Copilot

The `send_sms` tool lets your team trigger individual text alerts directly from VS Code Copilot during collaborative debugging. Developers can test live notifications using this MCP Server without sharing private API keys across unsecure channels. Use `check_protexting_status` to ensure the gateway is operational before committing your messaging code to the repository. This keeps your CI pipeline clean and prevents broken integrations from reaching production.

Audit Subscriber Lists in Your IDE

The `list_contacts` tool pulls active customer records into VS Code Copilot so your team can audit data schemas. This helps engineers verify that database sync scripts match the live API structure. Run `delete_contact` to remove test profiles from your production database during code review. Your agent handles the cleanup so you don't clutter your marketing lists.

Automate Bulk Campaigns with the MCP Server

The `send_bulk` tool allows VS Code Copilot to execute scheduled marketing blasts directly from your workspace. You can draft the copy in your editor and let the agent handle the delivery payload. Monitor campaign performance with `get_message_status` to track real-time delivery rates across major carriers. This gives your team instant feedback on sender reputation and carrier filtering.
