How do I securely obtain my Conekta Private API Key?

Log in to your Conekta dashboard as an administrator. In the left sidebar, click on 'Developers' (Desarrolladores), then navigate to 'API Keys' (Llaves API). Locate the 'Private Key' (Llave Privada) section—you may need to enter your password to reveal it. Copy this key and paste it into the secure input field below to connect the agent.

Can the AI agent create new charges or issue refunds directly?

No. This integration operates strictly in read-only mode to guarantee financial security. The conversational agent can query and extract data regarding transactions, customers, and overall payments, but it cannot authorize new charges or initiate refunds, protecting your account from unintended financial actions.

What kind of data can I ask the agent to retrieve from Conekta?

You can ask the agent to check the exact status of a specific payment ID, verify whether a charge was approved or declined, list recent successful orders, or summarize the daily transaction volume and associated processing fees.

Conekta + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Conekta 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.
