Frequently asked questions
Can I track ticket sales and revenue for a specific event?
Yes. Use get_event_revenue with an Event ID to retrieve total revenue, ticket sales breakdown by type, and payment method distribution. Use list_orders_by_event to see individual orders with buyer details and amounts. Use list_ticket_types to see pricing and availability per ticket tier.
Can I monitor attendee check-ins in real time?
Yes. Use list_attendees to see all attendees with their check-in status. Use list_scans for individual scan entries with timestamps. Use get_scan_stats for aggregate metrics: total tickets scanned, unique scans, and overall scan rate percentage.
Can I view only upcoming or past events separately?
Yes. Use list_upcoming_events for future events sorted by date, or list_past_events for completed events useful for post-event reporting. Use list_events for all events regardless of date, and get_event for complete details of any specific event.
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.
