Frequently asked questions
How do I get an EasyPost API Key?
Log in to your EasyPost dashboard, navigate to Account Settings > API Keys, and you can find your Live and Test API keys there. Ensure you use the appropriate key for the data you want to access.
Can the agent purchase shipping labels?
This integration currently focuses on listing and auditing shipments, trackers, and carrier accounts. Purchasing labels or generating labels should be managed via the EasyPost web portal or specific creation API endpoints.
Which carriers are supported?
EasyPost supports over 100 carriers globally, including USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL, and many regional carriers. You can use the list_carrier_accounts tool to see which ones are connected to 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.
