How do I securely obtain ConnectAndSell API credentials?

You typically need to contact your organization's ConnectAndSell technical administrator or reach out directly to the official support channel to provision API access. Once authorized, secure the credentials supplied and enter them safely in this integration's configuration context below.

Can the AI place active phone calls on behalf of the sales reps?

No. This integration operates primarily in a reporting, querying, and monitoring capacity. It manages system metrics to retrieve data on usage, calling statistics, performance overviews and campaign metrics, rather than taking direct voice or real-time call control roles which structurally belong strictly within the dialer platform interface natively.

What exact statistics can be reviewed with this AI integration?

You can effectively retrieve summary counts of dials made, connection and conversion ratios, active campaign performance statuses, agent-level tallies of successful meetings set, and various log insights correlating duration of talk to explicit disposition outcomes recorded internally.

ConnectAndSell + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating ConnectAndSell 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.
