FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I track a new usage event for a customer?

Use the send_event tool. You'll need to provide the customer's external ID and the metric code to record the consumption in real-time.

Can I create a new billing plan with specific charges?

Yes, use the create_plan tool. You can define the name, interval, and base amount, as well as pass a JSON object for specific charges.

Is it possible to apply a discount to a customer?

Absolutely. First, create a coupon using create_coupon, then use the apply_coupon tool to link it to a specific customer's external ID.

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.
