Frequently asked questions
Can I record a new usage event for a customer?
Yes! Use the add_cheddar_charge tool with the customer code, charge code (tracked item), and quantity. The agent will record the usage in Cheddar immediately.
How do I see the billing history for a specific person?
Use the get_cheddar_customer_details tool with the unique customer code. Your agent will fetch the full record, including active plans, status, and associated invoices.
Where do I find my Product Secret and Product Code?
Log in to your Cheddar dashboard and look for 'Product Settings'. You can view and copy your unique Product Code and generate a 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.
