Frequently asked questions
Can I process a refund through the agent?
Yes! Use the refund_chargedesk_payment tool with the charge ID. You can also specify an optional amount for a partial refund. The agent will trigger the refund on the original gateway.
How do I see all payments from a specific customer?
Use the get_customer_details tool with the unique customer ID. Your agent will fetch the profile, which includes a list of all successful and failed charges.
Where do I find my ChargeDesk Secret Key?
Log in to your ChargeDesk account and go to Account Settings -> API. You can view and copy your Secret Key from there.
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.
