How do I get my Amazon SP-API credentials?

You need to register a private application in the Amazon Seller Central (Partner Network > Develop Apps). You will get an LwA Client ID and Secret. You then self-authorize the app to get a long-lived Refresh Token.

Which region should I choose?

Select the region that matches your target marketplace: **NA** (North America - US, CA, MX, BR), **EU** (Europe - UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, etc.), or **FE** (Far East - JP, AU, SG).

Can I request PII data like customer names?

This MCP server uses standard SP-API tokens. Some PII data (Personally Identifiable Information) in orders requires a Restricted Data Token (RDT), which must be specifically requested in the API call and authorized in your app's roles.

Amazon Selling Partner + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Amazon Selling Partner MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
