Can I capture a payment for an authorized order using my agent?

Yes. Use the `capture_payment` tool with a specific Order UUID. Your agent will trigger the action against your payment provider (e.g., Stripe) to finalize the fund transfer for the order immediately.

How do I check the tax rates and currencies for a specific region?

The `list_regions` tool retrieves all configured geographical zones in Medusa. Your agent will expose the localized currency logic, tax rates, and enabled payment methods assigned to each region.

Can my agent retrieve the detailed variants and prices for a product?

Absolutely. Use the `get_product` tool by providing the Product ID. Your agent will fetch the full object including nested variants, options (size, color), and pricing arrays for all configured regions.

Medusa (Headless E-commerce Engine) + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Medusa (Headless E-commerce Engine) 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.
