Frequently asked questions
Can I automatically list all active subscriptions for a site?
Yes! Use the list_subscriptions tool to retrieve all recorded subscriptions. You can then ask the agent to filter them by status if needed.
How do I fetch details for a specific customer?
Simply provide the Customer ID to the get_customer_details tool. It will return the full profile, including contact info and billing preferences.
Does this integration allow for creating new subscriptions?
Yes, you can use the create_subscription tool by providing the Customer ID and the Plan ID.
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.
