Frequently asked questions
How do I get an Endear API Key?
Log in to your Endear dashboard, navigate to Settings > API, and you can generate or retrieve your unique API Key from there. API access is typically available on professional and enterprise plans.
Can the agent send messages to customers?
This integration currently focuses on listing and auditing customers, notes, and orders. Sending outbound SMS or emails via Endear should be managed through the Endear mobile app or dashboard clienteling interface.
Does the integration show real-time stock levels?
You can retrieve product metadata using the list_retail_products tool. While it shows current product availability, detailed granular inventory across all locations should be confirmed within the Endear inventory module.
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.
