Frequently asked questions
Can I see the full donation history for a specific donor?
Yes. Use search_donors to find a donor by name or email, then call get_donor_history with their Donor ID to retrieve every donation they've made — including amounts, dates, campaign allocations, and payment methods. Use get_donor for their full profile with contact details and total lifetime giving.
Can I monitor campaign progress toward fundraising goals?
Yes. The list_campaigns tool retrieves all fundraising campaigns with their goals and current progress. Use get_campaign with a Campaign ID for detailed statistics including donor count, average donation, and progress percentage. Combine with list_donations_by_project to see every donation linked to a specific campaign.
Can I access donation tax receipts for annual fiscal reporting?
Yes. The list_receipts tool retrieves all generated donation tax receipts across your organization. Each receipt includes the donor name, donation amount, date, and receipt number. Use get_dashboard for aggregate fundraising metrics to supplement your annual reporting.
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.
