What is the Giftbit MCP Server?
Connect your Giftbit account to any AI agent to automate the delivery and tracking of digital rewards through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Giftbit is a powerful rewards platform that lets you send digital gift cards to customers, employees, or research participants. This MCP server enables you to order new rewards, retrieve available brands, and track gift redemption statuses directly through natural conversation.
Key Features
- Reward Campaigns — Programmatically create new campaigns to send digital rewards via Giftbit's customizable email delivery system.
- Direct & Embedded Links — Generate raw reward URLs (direct links) or embeddable links to distribute rewards through your own app or SMS.
- Brand Discovery — List all available reward brands, filter by region, and check allowed price ranges and metadata.
- Redemption Tracking — Retrieve detailed status updates for individual gifts to see if recipients have opened or claimed their rewards.
- Campaign Oversight — List past campaigns and fetch their completion and delivery statuses.
- Environment Control — Switch between the Giftbit 'testbed' (sandbox) for safe testing and 'production' for real transactions.
- Real-time Synchronization — Keep your reward fulfillment operations accessible to your AI assistant without leaving your primary workspace.
How it works

- Enter your Giftbit API Token (from the developer portal)

Frequently asked questions
How do I get an API Token for Giftbit?
Log in to the Giftbit Developer Portal, navigate to the API settings, and you can generate an API Token for either your Testbed or Production account.
Can I test the integration without sending real money?
Yes! Giftbit provides a fully functional 'testbed' environment. Simply set the 'Environment' credential to 'testbed' and provide your test API token.
What is the difference between direct links and embedded links?
Direct links send the user to a standalone claim page. Embedded links are designed to be displayed directly within an iframe in your own application.
How do I specify the reward value?
Giftbit handles all pricing in cents. To send a $5.00 reward, you must provide '500' as the price_in_cents parameter.
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.
