Frequently asked questions
Does this work for iFood customers or only merchants?
This MCP server is designed exclusively for iFood merchants (restaurant owners). It uses the Merchant API to manage orders, catalogs, and operations. Consumer-side features require a different API. If you're a restaurant owner using iFood for delivery, this is for you.
Can I accept and prepare orders automatically with this MCP?
Yes! AI agents can update order status through the full workflow: PENDING -> ACCEPTED -> PREPARING -> READY -> DISPATCHED -> DELIVERED. You can build automation rules to accept orders instantly, notify kitchen staff, and track preparation times.
Does this support multiple restaurant locations?
Absolutely. The API returns all stores associated with your merchant account. Each tool requires a store_id parameter, so you can manage operations independently across all your restaurant locations. AI agents can list all your stores first to get their IDs.
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.
