Can I check stock levels across all my warehouses through my agent?

Yes. Use the `get_stock_level` tool with a targeted Item ID. Your agent will return a breakdown of available, in-order, and due quantities for each of your configured locations, ensuring you have a global view of your inventory.

How do I find detailed information for a specific product SKU?

Use the `get_inventory_item` tool and provide the exact SKU code. Your agent will fetch the full product record from Linnworks, exposing pricing, weight, dimensions, and category assignments directly in your conversation.

Can my agent list all active sales channels connected to Linnworks?

Absolutely. Use the `list_channels` tool to identify all integrated marketplaces like Amazon, Shopify, or eBay. Your agent will report the channel source, subchannel info, and current integration status to verify your sync health.

Linnworks (E-commerce Ops) + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Linnworks (E-commerce Ops) 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.
