How do I find my Publisher ID for queries?

Use the `list_accounts` tool. It will return all accounts associated with your token, including their unique IDs and account types (Publisher or Advertiser).

Can I filter transactions by status?

Yes. When using the `list_transactions` tool, you can provide a status parameter such as 'pending', 'approved', 'declined', or 'deleted' to narrow down your results.

How far back can I retrieve transaction data?

The Awin API allows you to retrieve individual transactions for a maximum range of 31 days per request. For longer periods, you may need to perform multiple targeted queries.

Awin + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Awin 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.
