How do I find my Facebook Ad Account ID?

You can find your Ad Account ID in the **Meta Ads Manager**. It's the numeric ID shown in the URL or account selector. Ensure you provide it without the 'act_' prefix.

Can I pause an underperforming campaign using this agent?

Yes! Use the `update_campaign_status` tool and set the status to `PAUSED`. You can also resume it later by setting it back to `ACTIVE`.

Which performance metrics are available in the insights?

The `get_insights` tool provides comprehensive data including impressions, clicks, total spend, reach, CPC (cost per click), CTR (click-through rate), and CPP (cost per purchase).

Facebook Ads + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Facebook Ads 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.
