Can my AI automatically list all participants for a specific event?

Yes! Use the `list_participants` tool with the Event ID. Your agent will return a complete list of attendees, including their registration data and ticket status.

How do I process a check-in via the AI agent?

Use the `checkin_participant` tool with the unique Ticket ID. The agent will notify the Sympla server that the participant has arrived, updating the event statistics in real-time.

Can I monitor real-time ticket sales performance?

Yes! The `get_event_stats` tool retrieves granular metrics on total tickets sold, revenue generated, and remaining inventory for your specific event.

Sympla + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Sympla 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.
