Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Customer.io API Key?
Log in to your Customer.io workspace, navigate to Settings > API Keys, and you will find your Site ID and API Key there. You can create different keys for tracking and management purposes.
Can the agent trigger a campaign manually?
This integration currently focuses on identifying customers and monitoring campaign data. Triggering campaigns is typically done via behavioral events or within the Customer.io workflow builder.
Does the integration support SMS and Push notifications?
Yes, Customer.io is a multi-channel platform. The agent can monitor campaigns and broadcasts that include Email, SMS, Push, and Webhook actions.
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.
