Frequently asked questions
How do I get an API Key for Every.org?
Visit the Every.org API Dashboard to request your free Public Key. For fundraising features, you will also need a Partner account and Private Key.
Can I search for nonprofits in a specific location?
Yes! The search_nonprofits tool accepts keywords that can include cities or regions to narrow your search for local organizations.
How do I create a new fundraiser programmatically?
Use the create_fundraiser tool by providing the nonprofit_id (EIN or slug) and a title. Note that this requires a Private Key configured in your credentials.
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.
