Visual Studio Code
One server in the editor, every agent on your data.
Visual Studio Code keeps MCP servers in one place, so you add Instasent once and whichever agent you use in the editor gets your audience, campaigns and results. Commit .vscode/mcp.json and the whole team has the same connection. Sending waits for your approval.
Visual Studio Code, working on a real project
Connect Visual Studio Code to your project
The fast way. Paste this prompt into Visual Studio Code and it does the three steps for you.
Or do it by hand:
- 1
Add the server
Run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette, choose HTTP and paste Instasent's server address — or add it to .vscode/mcp.json under servers with type http and its url.
- 2
Sign in
Start the server and sign in when the editor asks. Visual Studio Code opens Instasent in your browser: sign in, pick the project and the permissions it gets. The connection is listed under Connected apps, and you can revoke it any time.
- 3
Check it
Open the chat in agent mode and ask it to count your contacts. If the figure matches, you are connected.
What to ask Visual Studio Code
- Which of my attributes does the code in this repo never fill in?
- Generate TypeScript types for the events my project receives.
- Tell me how many contacts would enter a segment of VIP customers with no purchase in 60 days, and save it.
- Draft the win-back campaign for that segment so I can review it in the panel.
What Visual Studio Code will not do on its own
- It reads everything.
- Audience, campaigns, flows and results of the project you connect.
- It creates and leaves it ready.
- Segments and campaign drafts, prepared for you to review.
- It never sends.
- Sending waits for your approval, every time. No agent sends on its own.
