Frequently asked questions
Can I process a refund for a transaction using the agent?
Yes! Use the refund_transaction tool with the Transaction Node ID. You can also specify a partial amount if you don't want to refund the full charge.
How do I capture a previously authorized transaction?
Simply ask the agent to capture_transaction and provide the Transaction Node ID. The funds will be captured and the status updated in your Braintree account.
Does the integration allow searching for a customer by email?
Yes. Use the search_customers tool and provide the exact email address. The agent will execute a GraphQL query to find the matching customer profile.
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.
