How do I get my Amplifier API Key?

Log in to your Amplifier account. You need a PRO account to generate production API keys. You can also create Sandbox keys for testing. The API key is used as the username in Basic Auth with a blank password.

Can I test orders without fulfilling them?

Yes! If you use a Sandbox API key, the `create_order` tool will simulate the order creation without triggering actual fulfillment in the warehouse.

How do I check my current stock levels?

Use the `get_inventory_report` tool. It retrieves the current stock levels for all your catalog items at once, making it easy to identify low-stock SKUs.

Amplifier + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Amplifier 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.
