Can I check the cost of a mailing before I send it?

Yes! Use the `get_mail_job_cost` tool with the job ID. The agent will return the estimated production and postage costs for your mailing.

How do I see if my documents have been printed and mailed?

Use the `get_mail_job_details` tool. Your agent will fetch the current production status (e.g., In Production, Mailed) and provide tracking info if available.

Where do I find my Click2Mail API credentials?

Click2Mail uses your standard account Username and Password for API access. You can find your account details in the Click2Mail portal under Profile.

Click2Mail + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Click2Mail 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.
