Can I check if an item is available for rent next weekend?

Yes! Use the `check_availability` tool with the start and end dates. Your agent will check the real-time inventory in Booqable to confirm if the product group has free stock.

How do I mark a rental order as picked up?

Simply ask the agent to `start_order` and provide the Order ID. This will transition the booking status to 'Started' in your Booqable account.

Does the integration allow creating a new customer profile?

The current toolset focuses on order management, inventory auditing, and availability checks. Creating or editing core customer profiles should be done through the Booqable admin dashboard or public storefront.

Booqable + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Booqable 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.
