Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Apple Search Ads API credentials?
Log in to Apple Search Ads, navigate to Settings > API, and generate a public/private key pair. Upload the public key to receive your Client ID, Team ID, and Key ID.
What is the 'orgId'?
The orgId identifies your specific organization or account within Apple Search Ads. You can find it in your account settings or in the URL when logged into the dashboard.
Is there a limit on search term reports?
Yes, Apple enforces a privacy threshold. Search term reports only return data for terms that have at least 10 impressions.
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.
