Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Cordial API Key?
Log in to your Cordial account, go to Settings > API Keys, and create a new key. Ensure you have the necessary permissions to manage contacts and messages.
Can the agent trigger batch campaigns?
This integration currently focuses on listing and monitoring campaigns. To trigger sends, you should use the Cordial dashboard or specific automation workflows.
What profile attributes can the agent update?
The agent can update any custom attributes defined in your Cordial schema, as well as channel subscription preferences, as long as the API Key has write access.
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.
