Team-Wide Campaign Analytics

`sf_campaign_performance` gives your entire engineering team access to marketing ROI directly in their editor. You commit the MCP config to your repository, and every developer can ask Copilot for the total leads generated by campaign type. No one has to beg the marketing ops team for a CSV export. When your team needs to debug a specific channel, `sf_search_campaigns` finds the exact initiative by name. Copilot pulls the budgeted cost versus actual cost. Your developers get the context they need to fix reporting pipelines instantly.

Debug Lead Syncs in VS Code

`sf_campaign_members` lets Copilot inspect who is actually enrolled in a campaign. If a sales rep complains a lead didn't sync, your developer asks the agent to pull the membership record. It reads the response date and status right in the terminal pane. To fix the missing record, `sf_add_campaign_member` attaches the orphaned contact ID to the campaign. Copilot handles the payload structure. Your team resolves the ticket without logging into the Salesforce web interface.

Provision Test Data via MCP Server

`sf_create_campaign` generates real campaigns for your team to test against. A developer tells Copilot they need a Trade Show campaign with a set budget. The AI client creates it and returns the Salesforce ID for use in environment variables. To verify the test environment is ready, `sf_campaigns_by_status` fetches all Planned campaigns. Copilot checks the lead counts and dates. Your QA engineers can start their integration tests knowing the data is accurate.
