Can I check the items in a specific data catalog?

Yes! Use the `get_catalog_items` tool with the Catalog ID. Your agent will fetch the items and their metadata directly from your Bloomreach instance.

How do I see all the customer segments I have created?

Simply ask the agent to `list_segments` or `list_segmentations`. It will retrieve the definitions and names of the customer groups you've configured in the Engagement platform.

Does the integration allow exporting customer properties?

Yes. Use the `get_customer_properties` tool with a registered Customer ID. The agent will retrieve core properties like name and email based on your project configuration.

Bloomreach + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Bloomreach 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.
