Frequently asked questions
How do I get an emfluence API Key?
Log in to your emfluence account, navigate to Settings > API, and you can generate or retrieve your unique API Key from there. Ensure the key has the necessary permissions for your marketing resources.
Can the agent send new marketing emails?
This integration currently focuses on listing and auditing emails, groups, and contacts. Creating or sending new marketing campaigns should be managed via the emfluence platform dashboard.
Does the integration show bounce rates?
Yes, you can use the get_email_performance_stats tool to retrieve specific bounce metrics along with open and click rates for any email.
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.
