Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Highnote API Key?
Log in to your Highnote dashboard, navigate to Settings > API, and you will be able to generate and copy your API key. Make sure to distinguish between Test and Live keys based on your environment.
What environments are supported?
The integration supports both the Test (Sandbox) and Live (Production) environments. You must specify which one you are connecting to during setup to ensure the correct API endpoints are used.
Can I freeze a card through this integration?
Yes! Use the update_card_status tool and set the status to FROZEN. This will immediately prevent any new authorizations on that card. You can set it back to ACTIVE to unfreeze it.
Is the integration secure for financial data?
Absolutely. The integration uses industry-standard Basic Authentication over HTTPS. Your credentials and financial data are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.
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.
