Frequently asked questions
How do I get an API Key for GiveForms?
Log in to your GiveForms dashboard, navigate to Settings > Integrations, and look for the REST API section to find your Organization ID and API Key.
Can I manually add donations via the agent?
The current version of the GiveForms API is primarily designed for data retrieval and auditing. Creation tools may be added in future updates.
How do I find a specific Campaign ID?
The Campaign ID is the number found at the end of the URL when you view or edit a campaign within your GiveForms dashboard.
Is the donation data returned in real-time?
Yes, all data retrieved through this MCP server is fetched directly from the GiveForms REST API, providing you with the latest available donation records.
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.
