Can I check if a specific swag item is in stock?

Yes! Use the `get_inventory_status` tool. Your agent will fetch the real-time stock levels for all products in your Brilliant Made store.

How do I see the fulfillment status of my last order?

Simply ask the agent to `get_order` and provide the Order ID. It will retrieve the current status, such as 'processing', 'shipped', or 'delivered', directly from Brilliant Made.

Does the integration allow creating a new gift card?

Yes. Use the `create_gift_card` action and provide the amount. The card will be generated in your storefront and can then be assigned to a recipient.

Brilliant Made + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Brilliant Made 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.
