Can the AI automatically process a refund for a specific transaction ID?

Yes! Use the `create_transaction` tool with the 'refundTransaction' type. You'll need to provide the original transaction ID and the amount to be credited back to the customer.

How do I check for transactions that have not yet been settled?

Simply ask the agent to run the `get_unsettled_transaction_list` tool. It will return all transactions currently sitting in your unsettled queue for review.

Is it possible to manage customer payment profiles securely through the AI?

Yes. The `get_customer_profile` tool allows the agent to retrieve stored profiles (without exposing full sensitive card data), enabling you to manage recurring billing and saved information securely.

Authorize.net + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Authorize.net 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.
