Where do I find my NiftyImages API Key?

Log in to your NiftyImages account and navigate to the API section in your account settings to find or generate your key.

Can I update a timer that is already live in an email?

Yes! Because NiftyImages generates the countdown at the moment the email is opened, updating the target date via the `update_timer` tool will reflect the change for all subsequent opens.

What is the Photoshop API used for?

It allows you to programmatically change the text or visibility of specific layers within a Photoshop file you have uploaded to NiftyImages, enabling high-fidelity dynamic imaging.

NiftyImages + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating NiftyImages 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.
