Are actions simulated or operating live on real Ledgers?

If you inject your core Project Access Token with full production permissions and leave the `env` string off `sandbox`, yes! It executes heavy Core Banking GraphQL mutations that immediately provision legally compliant EU ledgers behind the scenes.

Can the AI Agent manage physical or virtual credit cards?

Yes. Via `swan_add_virtual_card` and `swan_cancel_card` the LLM has complete programmatic control over debit and spend cards mapped to underlying accounts.

Does the system support sandbox incoming money simulation?

Yes! We expose the `swan_simulate_incoming_transfer` specifically so you can test your programmatic workflows in SandBox by pushing fake money into target ledgers.

Swan + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Swan 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.
