FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I get an API Key for Givebutter?

Log in to your Givebutter dashboard, navigate to Settings > Developers > API, and you can generate a new secret API key there.

Can I process live credit card transactions via the agent?

No, this integration is for management and data retrieval. For security, live donor checkouts must still happen through Givebutter's secure forms.

What format should the donation amount be in?

The Givebutter API uses major units for amounts. For example, to record a $10.50 donation, you should provide the decimal value '10.50'.

How do I link a transaction to a specific campaign?

Use the 'campaign_id' parameter in the 'record_offline_donation' tool. You can find your campaign IDs using the 'list_fundraising_campaigns' tool.

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.
