Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Mailshake API Key?
Log in to Mailshake, navigate to 'Extensions' in the main menu, and select 'API' to generate or copy your personal API key.
What is the difference between a Lead and a Recipient?
A Recipient is anyone added to a campaign. A Lead is a recipient who has met specific engagement criteria (like replying) and is tracked in the 'Lead Catcher'.
Can I add multiple prospects at once?
Yes, the add_prospects_to_campaign tool accepts a JSON body where you can provide a list of multiple recipients to be added in a single request.
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.
