Frequently asked questions
Can the AI Agent send email broadcasts automatically?
No, the agent can only read existing broadcasts and campaigns, and add subscribers or trigger events that might lead to emails being sent by Drip's rules.
Does it support Drip custom fields and tags?
Yes! You can list available custom fields and apply multiple tags or custom properties to any subscriber.
Can I remove a subscriber from Drip entirely using the agent?
Yes, you can instruct the agent to delete a subscriber completely, or simply unsubscribe them from all mailings.
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.
