Your agent can instantly register new shop stations, calculate real-time delivery costs, place delivery orders, and monitor courier progress without you ever needing to navigate the comprehensive Dada Developer Portal. Whether you are managing e-commerce fulfillment or coordinating local retail shipments, your agent acts as a real-time logistics coordinator, providing accurate and fast results from a single, authorized source.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Dada App Key, Secret, and Source ID?
Log in to the Dada Developer Portal, register your application to get the App Key and App Secret. Your Source ID (Merchant ID) is visible in your merchant account profile after registration.
What is the 'origin_shop_id'?
The origin_shop_id is a custom unique identifier you define for your shop when adding it to Dada. It should match the ID you use in your own system to coordinate operations between platforms.
Can I query delivery prices before placing an order?
Yes! Use the query_delivery_fee tool to calculate the cost. If you're happy with the price, you can immediately use the returned deliveryNo with the create_order_after_query tool to confirm the delivery.
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.
