Frequently asked questions
Can I reply to user reviews with this integration?
Yes! You can use the reply_to_review tool. Simply provide the Review ID and the text you want to reply with, and the AI agent will post it to the Google Play Store on your behalf.
How do I check if a user's subscription is active?
Use the get_subscription_purchase tool with the Subscription ID (SKU) and the user's purchase token. The AI will return the full status of their subscription.
Can I issue refunds for subscriptions?
Yes, you can use the refund_subscription tool by providing the Subscription ID and the purchase token.
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.
