Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Campaign Monitor API Key?
Log in to your account, click on your profile (top right), navigate to Account Settings > API Key, and copy your unique token.
Can I manage multiple clients via AI?
Yes! The list_clients tool retrieves all sub-accounts, and you can use their IDs to manage lists and campaigns specifically for each client.
Does it support real-time campaign analytics?
The get_campaign_analytics tool retrieves the most current engagement metrics (opens, clicks, unsubscribes) directly from the platform.
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.
