- Availability Check — Query specific services to find available time slots within defined date ranges
- Resource Oversight — Manage bookable resources such as staff members, rooms, or specialized equipment
- Service Catalog — List all service definitions and appointment types configured in your account

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my MakePlans API Key?
Log in to your MakePlans admin dashboard, navigate to Settings > API to find or generate your Private API Key. Your token is encrypted at rest and injected securely at runtime.
What is the Account Name?
The account name is the subdomain used in your MakePlans URL, for example: mycompany.makeplans.com. Enter only mycompany.
Can I search for available slots for a specific date range?
Yes, use the find_available_slots tool and provide params such as from=2024-01-01&to=2024-01-07 along with the service 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.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
