How do I obtain a Softinn API Key?

Softinn restricts API access to registered merchants. You must reach out to their support team at support@mysoftinn.com to request an API key for your specific property.

Can my AI automatically update room statuses for cleaning?

Yes! Use the `update_room_status` tool with the specific Room ID and the target status (e.g., 'Clean', 'Dirty'). Your agent will synchronize the change with the PMS instantly.

Does it support real-time availability searching?

Absolutely. The `check_availability` tool queries the live booking engine to find vacant rooms between any two dates for your hotel.

Softinn + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Softinn 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.
