Automate Messaging Flows in VS Code Copilot

When a feature requires communication, your team can use the MCP Server. Tools like `send_sms`, `send_viber_message`, and `send_whatsapp_message` allow you to write universal comms functions. Since this config is committed to the repo, every developer gets instant access to sending SMS, Viber, or WhatsApp messages without setting up anything locally.

Build Reliable 2FA Logic in VS Code Copilot

Authentication logic becomes simple. The team can use `start_verification` and `check_verification_code` to handle OTP flows. This keeps the codebase clean because all verification steps are encapsulated by the Vonage tools. If a user needs to restart the process, they just call `cancel_verification_request`, keeping the state management predictable.

Manage and Verify Numbers in VS Code Copilot

The team can manage numbers through the MCP Server. Developers use `list_rented_numbers` to check available virtual lines, or `update_number_webhook` when an endpoint changes. For cost management, `get_account_balance` pulls the latest credit data right into your shared repository context.
