How can I pause billing for a client who needs a break?

Just tell your agent to 'Place a hold on subscription ID `123`'. It hits the `/holds.json` endpoint, clamping the account and completely forbidding the next billing cycle from firing until you choose to resume it.

Can my agent upgrade a customer to a higher pricing tier instantly?

Absolutely. You can ask for a list of products to find the new Plan ID, then prompt the agent to update the subscription target. The platform handles the mid-cycle prorations automatically while your agent executes the switch.

What happens when I cancel a subscription through the AI?

When you execute a cancellation, you can include a 'message' documenting the churn logic (e.g., 'Moving to competitor'). The AI executes an irreversible DELETE call stopping the MRR securely and appending your specific reason for analytics.

Chargify + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Chargify 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.
