What is the Emoji Name Resolver MCP Server?
When a Martech agent crafts messages for Slack, Discord, and GitHub, each platform uses different emoji formats. This MCP resolves bidirectionally with a database of 1,800+ emojis.
The Superpowers
- Bidirectional:
:rocket:โ๐and๐โ:rocket:. - Full String Support: Processes entire messages, not just single emojis.
- 1,800+ Emojis: Complete database covering all standard Unicode emojis.
Built-in capabilities (1)
Pass the input text and direction ("name-to-emoji" to convert :shortcodes: to emojis, or "emoji-to-name" to convert emojis back to :shortcodes:). Works on full strings with multiple emojis. Converts emoji shortcodes to Unicode emojis (:rocket: -> ๐) and vice versa (๐ -> :rocket:). Essential for cross-platform compatibility between Slack, Discord, and GitHub

Frequently asked questions
How many emojis are supported?
Over 1,800 emojis from the Unicode standard, including all standard shortcodes used by Slack, Discord, and GitHub.
Can it process full sentences with multiple emojis?
Yes. Pass a full message like 'Great job :thumbsup: keep going :rocket:' and it will convert all shortcodes in one call.
What shortcode format does it use?
The standard colon-wrapped format used by Slack, Discord, and GitHub: :emoji_name:. For example, :fire:, :heart:, :rocket:.
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.
