Frequently asked questions
How do I find my ChargeOver API credentials?
Log in to your account, navigate to Settings > Developers > REST API, and copy your API Key (Username) and API Secret (Private Key).
Can I create a new subscription via AI?
Yes! Use the create_subscription tool and provide the customer ID and a nickname for the billing package to initialize a new recurring plan.
How do I check a customer's payment history?
The list_billing_transactions tool retrieves a detailed history of all payments, refunds, and credits associated with your 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.
