Standardize campaign lookups across your team in VS Code Copilot.

The `list_campaigns` tool lets your team inspect active outbound sequences directly from the VS Code Copilot chat. By committing the MCP Server configuration to your repo, every developer gets instant access to live campaign metadata. This ensures that developers building internal CRM integrations are always working with accurate, live campaign IDs instead of hardcoded placeholders.

Automate prospect lifecycle steps inside VS Code Copilot.

The `pause_person` tool allows your team to pause active sequences directly from the editor during testing. If a bug is detected in your webhook receiver, you can ask VS Code Copilot to halt outreach for specific test accounts. Once the issue is resolved, your team can use `resume_person` to restart the sequences. This keeps your testing workflows aligned with your actual production data.

Verify active sender accounts inside VS Code Copilot.

The `list_email_accounts` tool pulls your active Reply.io sender profiles directly into the VS Code Copilot chat panel. This helps your team verify which domains are sending mail before pushing new code to production. You can also run `list_people` to check which prospects are assigned to which sender, making it easy to debug deliverability issues without leaving your IDE.

Setup guide

Set up Reply.io MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
