Can GitHub Copilot in VS Code run cold email through MCP?

Yes, in early access. An entry in .vscode/mcp.json gives Copilot agent mode tools for domains, mailboxes, warm-up, campaigns and replies; you pay each order on Stripe.

How it works

Cold email in VS Code, step by step

  1. 1

    Add the server

    Add Outreach2day to .vscode/mcp.json or your user profile. Copilot lists its tools in agent mode.

  2. 2

    Size and order

    Copilot works out the mailboxes you need for your volume, quotes them and hands you the Stripe link.

  3. 3

    Build from the workspace

    It turns copy and lead files in the repo into a draft campaign and checks the copy.

  4. 4

    Launch and review

    After warm-up it launches, then reports replies and per-mailbox stats in the chat.

Where it works

Outreach2day in VS Code: where to connect

Prompts

Things to ask VS Code

Plain language is enough. The agent picks the tools and asks before anything costs money.

  • How many emails a day can our warm mailboxes send, and how many more do we need for 2,000?
  • Create a draft campaign from outreach/sequence.md and outreach/leads.csv.
  • Which domains have DNS records missing?
  • Show replies from the last 3 days that ask for pricing.
  • Pause the Q4 campaign until the bounce rate is back under 2%.

Tools

23 tools, from domains to replies

Tools ship to early-access workspaces first. Today the REST API covers workspaces, domain checks and warm-up status.

Account and pricing

  • get_pricing Current prices for mailboxes and domains
  • get_account_status Workspaces, mailboxes by state, open orders and the next step

Domains

  • connect_own_domains Connect domains you own; returns the records to set

Orders

  • create_checkout Stripe checkout link for a confirmed quote; charges nothing
  • get_order Per-domain and per-mailbox setup state

Guardrails

VS Code quotes. You pay.

Money moves only on a Stripe page you open. VS Code can prepare an order, never complete one.

VS Code can

  • Check domains, quote an order and send you the Stripe link
  • Connect domains you already own and give you the DNS records
  • Start warm-up and tell you when each mailbox is ready
  • Write and check the sequence, import contacts, launch after warm-up
  • Read replies and per-mailbox stats, pause a campaign that trips bounce limits
  • Export warm mailboxes to Instantly or Smartlead after you confirm

VS Code cannot

  • Charge a card: every payment happens on a Stripe page you open
  • Launch a campaign before warm-up is done and the preflight check passes
  • Delete domains or mailboxes, cancel your plan or rotate passwords
  • Show mailbox passwords, SMTP/IMAP credentials or API keys in the chat
  • Order more than the first-order and daily spend limits of your workspace

FAQ

Questions

Or talk to the team

Does it work with GitHub Copilot?

Yes. Copilot agent mode in VS Code uses the MCP servers from mcp.json, so the Outreach2day tools show up there.

How do I keep the key out of the repo?

VS Code supports input variables in mcp.json: the header can read the key from a prompt the first time the server starts, so the file holds no secret.

Can VS Code spend money on my behalf?

No. VS Code can ask for a quote and hand you a Stripe checkout link. You pay on the Stripe page yourself. Quotes are priced by Outreach2day, and new workspaces have first-order and daily spend limits.

Is the Outreach2day MCP server available now?

In early access. Book a call and we add your workspace to the first group. The REST API is open to every account today: create a key in the app and call it from any script or agent.

What does it cost?

The MCP server comes with your Outreach2day account. You pay for what the agent orders: $2.50 per mailbox a month, domains billed yearly, both shown in the quote before you pay.

Which tools does the server have?

Tools for pricing and account status, domains, orders and Stripe checkout, mailboxes and warm-up, campaigns, replies and stats, and export to Instantly or Smartlead. The full list is on this page.

Can I use domains I already own?

Yes. The agent connects them and returns the DNS records to set at your registrar. Connecting your own domains is free.

How long until new mailboxes can send?

About 14 days of warm-up. The agent reports each mailbox's warm-up stage and ready date, and launch is refused until warm-up is done.

Can I keep sending from Instantly or Smartlead?

Yes. The agent exports warm mailboxes to your Instantly or Smartlead workspace after you confirm, and you keep your sequences there.

Does VS Code see my mailbox passwords?

No. No tool returns passwords, SMTP or IMAP credentials, or API keys. Export to a sequencer is the only step that moves credentials, and it needs your confirmation.

What happens if part of an order fails?

The order shows which domain or mailbox failed, with a link to support. Our team retries or refunds that item.
