Frequently asked questions
Can I add a new contact to a specific list from the agent?
Yes! Use the add_contact action with the List ID and contact details. Your agent will register the new subscriber in Benchmark Email instantly.
How do I see the latest results from my email campaigns?
Simply ask the agent to list_reports. You can then use get_report_details with a specific Report ID to see opens, clicks, and other engagement metrics.
Does the integration allow me to send a new email campaign?
Currently, the toolset focuses on management and auditing (listing campaigns, managing contacts, checking reports). Sending or scheduling active campaigns must be done through the Benchmark Email dashboard for safety.
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.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
