Frequently asked questions
How do I add a tag to a contact?
Use the add_tag_to_contact tool and provide the contact ID and the tag ID. Your agent will associate the tag with that specific contact in ActiveCampaign.
What is the API rate limit for ActiveCampaign?
ActiveCampaign enforces a standard limit of 5 requests per second per account. Exceeding this returns a 429 error code.
Should I use API version 1 or 3?
While version 1 is still technically supported, we always recommend (and this agent defaults to) RESTful API version 3 for performance and stability.
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.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
