Perplexity

Get live campaign stats.

The `get_campaign_stats` tool lets every developer on the team access current Woodpecker metrics right inside the chat. You can write code that uses these real numbers for reporting or validation. No more manual data retrieval: Copilot Chat calls this function, and the resulting data is immediately available in your workspace context.

Manage prospect records.

Need to check who’s on the list? Use `list_prospects` to pull current leads directly into your project. The whole team sees this capability automatically once you commit the MCP configuration. If a new lead comes in, your agent can use `add_prospect`, making data entry part of the standard development workflow.

Control campaign status.

The team can write scripts that interact with Woodpecker's state. For example, running a function that calls `pause_campaign` or checking if a sequence needs attention via `list_campaigns`. These tools keep the entire cold email workflow visible and controllable from within VS Code Copilot Chat.
