FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I get an API Key for Gingr?

Log in to Gingr, navigate to Reports & More > Users, edit your user, and look for the 'API Keys' section to generate or copy your key.

Can I create new reservations via the agent?

No, the current Gingr Public API is read-only. This integration is designed for safely retrieving and auditing your existing data.

How do I find my Location ID?

Use the 'list_business_locations' tool. The agent will return all configured locations in your app along with their unique IDs.

Is the Digital Whiteboard data live?

Yes, all data retrieved through the 'get_digital_whiteboard' tool is fetched directly from the Gingr API, reflecting the current state of your facility.

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.
