How do I find my Amilia Organization Identifier?

The Organization Identifier (formerly Rewrite URL) is the unique slug found in your Amilia store URL (e.g., `forest-explorers`). You can also use your numeric Organization ID.

How does authentication work?

Your agent uses your Username and Password to authenticate with the `/api/V3/authenticate` endpoint, retrieving a JWT token that is valid for 1 year to authorize subsequent requests.

Can I get an attendance roster for a specific class?

Yes! First, use `list_activity_occurrences` to find the specific date/time ID. Then, use `get_attendance` to retrieve the roster and check-in statuses for that occurrence.

Amilia + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Amilia 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.
