What is the MessageBird MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire global communication strategy with MessageBird, the leading omnichannel platform. By connecting MessageBird to your agent, you transform complex messaging workflows into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly send SMS to multiple recipients, audit your contact database, and check your real-time account balance without you ever touching a dashboard. Whether you are providing verification codes or managing marketing broadcasts, your agent acts as a real-time communication coordinator, ensuring your messages are delivered and your audience data is organized.
What you can do
- Messaging Intelligence — Send SMS messages to global recipients and retrieve detailed delivery status and history.
- Contact Auditing — List and retrieve detailed metadata for your global contact database and groups.
- Financial Oversight — Check your real-time account balance to maintain strict organizational control over your costs.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my MessageBird API Key?
Log in to your MessageBird Dashboard, navigate to Developers > API Access, and you will find your Access Key there. Copy and paste it into the field below.
Can the agent check my current credit balance?
Yes. Use the get_balance tool. Your agent will retrieve your current account balance and payment type (prepaid/postpaid) instantly.
Is it possible to send SMS to multiple recipients at once?
Yes. The send_sms tool accepts a comma-separated list of recipient numbers. Your agent will deliver the message to all recipients and provide the overall delivery status.
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.
