Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically add a new subscriber to a specific group by providing their email?
Yes! Use the create_subscriber tool. Provide the email address and an array of Group IDs, and your agent will create the record and assign them instantly.
How do I check the performance statistics for a recently sent campaign?
Simply ask the agent to run the get_campaign_stats action with the Campaign ID. It will retrieve the detailed metadata, including opens, clicks, and bounces.
How do I find my Sender.net API Token?
Log in to your Sender.net dashboard, navigate to Settings > API access tokens, and you will find or generate your unique Bearer token there.
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.
