Frequently asked questions
How is eCellar different from Commerce7?
eCellar is an all-in-one DTC platform popular with ultra-premium Napa Valley and Sonoma wineries. It includes CRM, ecommerce, POS, wine clubs, and reservations in a unified system with full REST API.
Does this integration require additional licensing from eCellar?
No, the Exchange REST API is generally available to all eCellar customers. You simply need to request your unique API Key and Secret from the eCellar support team as mentioned in the instructions.
Can I manage reservations with this tool?
Yes! The integration provides full access to your reservation and booking systems, allowing you to quickly query upcoming visits, manage guest lists, and track tasting room capacity.
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.
