FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I get started with the Best Buy integration?

Subscribe, enter your API credentials (just your API Key generated from developer.bestbuy.com → My Apps), and you're ready. No code, no setup, no webhooks — just connect and start exploring retail data through your AI agent. Takes only 30 seconds — no secondary OAuth apps, no logs.

Can my AI agent check if a specific TV is available at my local store?

Yes. Your agent queries the exact SKU against real-time local inventories using your ZIP code or Store ID. It returns exact quantities and pickup availability instantly without you ever opening the website.

What happens when I need to compare highly-rated products before a purchase?

Just ask your AI agent. It actively parses Best Buy's endpoint for items matching your criteria, filtering only for top-tier ratings and summarizing user reviews—all in a single conversation, accelerating your decision-making.

Can I automate pulling product data and images for my affiliate marketing site?

Absolutely. Program the agent to fetch bulk product schemas, including high-res URLs, precise dimensions, and technical specifications, which is perfect for e-commerce developers maintaining synchronized comparison sites.

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.
