Can I process a refund for a payment ID through the agent?

Yes! Use the `refund_checkout_payment` tool with the payment ID. You can also specify an optional amount in minor units for a partial refund. The agent will trigger the refund process in Checkout.com immediately.

How do I see the full history of actions for a payment?

Use the `list_payment_actions` tool with the unique payment ID. Your agent will fetch all lifecycle events, such as Authorization, Capture, and Refund, along with their timestamps.

Where do I find my API Prefix?

The API Prefix is the first 8 characters of your client_id (excluding the cli_ prefix). You can also find it in your Checkout.com Hub under Developers -> API Keys.

Checkout.com + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Checkout.com 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.
