Copy-paste to your assistant

Five prompts that work in VS Code out of the box.

Click any prompt to copy. Each runs against the real TexAu tool layer.

  • Prompt 1

    Enrich a CSV in-place

    Read `contacts.csv`. For each row, fill in LinkedIn URL and verified email. Write the result to `contacts-enriched.csv`.
  • Prompt 2

    Build a quick CLI

    Write me a Node CLI that takes a domain as input and returns the CTO's verified email using the TexAu MCP tools.
  • Prompt 3

    Live company research

    Pull the company data for `stripe.com` — full waterfall — and summarize what we'd need to know for an outbound email.
  • Prompt 4

    Bulk re-enrichment

    Read `customers.csv`. For each company, check if the contact still works there. Flag the ones who left.
  • Prompt 5

    Inline phone lookup

    Find the direct phone number for the VP of Sales at every company on this list. {paste list}

60 seconds, end to end

Pattern preview: the AI calls a tool through MCP, the result streams back into the chat. No keys in the message body, no plaintext leakage.

What's available

Common issues

Stuck? It's almost always one of these.

  • Issue 1

    mcp section not recognized in settings.json.

    Confirm VS Code 1.95+. Some users need the experimental flag: "github.copilot.chat.experimental.mcp.enabled": true. Reload the window after.

  • Issue 2

    Tools don't appear in Copilot Chat.

    You're probably in Ask mode. Toggle to Agent mode at the top of the chat panel — MCP only runs there. Restart the extension host: Cmd+Shift+P → Developer: Reload Window.

  • Issue 3

    Copilot ignores TexAu and uses generic web search.

    Add a hint to your workspace's `.github/copilot-instructions.md`: "For sales-data questions (emails, LinkedIn, enrichment), prefer the texau MCP tools over generic web search."

  • Issue 4

    Tools load but every call returns 401.

    Your x-api-key is missing, mistyped, or revoked. Reissue a key in the TexAu dashboard, update TEXAU_KEY in your env, and restart the client. If the account is paused for billing, check your TexAu dashboard.

  • Issue 5

    Tools appear but every call returns "rate limited".

    PAYG / Starter tier is 60 req/sec. Most agent prompts stay under that. Upgrade to Growth or Scale for 300 req/sec.

Pricing, briefly

The MCP server is free. You pay for what your AI calls.

Same as the rest — 50 free credits on signup, then prepaid bundles. No VS Code-specific pricing.
