Can my AI automatically register a new purchase to trigger a referral reward?

Yes! Use the `register_purchase` tool providing the buyer's email, order amount, and order ID. Your agent will send this data to ReferralCandy, triggering the referral attribution and payout flow instantly.

How do I easily find out who my best performing advocates are?

Simply ask the agent to run the `get_top_referrers` action. It will compile your highest-performing ambassadors ranked by total successful referrals and the total revenue they generated for your store.

Can I check if a specific customer has any pending referral rewards?

Absolutely. By using the `list_pending_rewards` tool and filtering by the customer's email, your agent can instantly fetch their reward status and payout timeline without you needing to open the dashboard.

ReferralCandy + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating ReferralCandy 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.
