Can I send an email with HTML content and track whether it was delivered?

Absolutely. Use the `send_email` tool with your HTML body, then use `get_email` with the returned ID to check delivery status, open events, and bounce details in real time.

How do I check if my sending domain DNS records are correctly configured?

Run `list_domains` to find your domain ID, then use `get_domain` to inspect the full DNS record set (SPF, DKIM, return path). If records are pending, trigger `verify_domain` to re-check.

Can I add subscribers to an audience for broadcast campaigns?

Yes. First use `list_audiences` to get the target audience ID, then call `create_contact` with the subscriber's email and optional name fields. The contact is immediately available for broadcast targeting.

Resend + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Resend 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.
