Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Snov.io API credentials?
Log in to your Snov.io account at app.snov.io. Click your profile avatar (top right corner). Select the API tab. Your User ID and API Secret are displayed on this page. Copy both values and paste them into the configuration fields below. Free plans include 50 credits/month.
Can I find all emails at a specific company domain?
Yes. Ask your agent 'Find all emails at acme.com' and it returns a list of verified business emails with names, job titles, confidence scores, and the email pattern used at that domain.
Can I set up drip campaigns through the AI agent?
Yes. Your agent can create drip campaigns, add recipients, configure follow-up sequences, and monitor delivery statuses — complete email automation from a single conversation.
Does Snov.io have a free plan?
Yes. Snov.io offers a free trial with 50 credits per month, enough for basic email finding and verification. The API works identically on all plans — credits are the only difference. Upgrade for higher volumes.
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.
