Frequently asked questions
Can the AI Agent process a direct credit card charge?
No, for security reasons and PCI compliance, the agent uses Payment Intents and Paylinks. The end user still securely completes the payment.
Does this MCP integration support partial refunds?
Yes, you can instruct the AI to refund a specific amount. If no amount is provided, the transaction is fully refunded.
Can I use the agent to mass-delete my customer base?
No, destructive mass operations are not exposed to the AI agent to prevent accidental data loss in your Blink Payment account.
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.
