Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Mindbody API Key?
Sign up at developers.mindbodyonline.com, create a developer account, then go to Account → API Credentials to generate your API Key. You'll also need the Site ID of the business you want to connect to.
What is a Site ID and where do I find it?
The Site ID is a unique numeric identifier for each Mindbody business. The business owner can find it in their Mindbody account under Settings. For testing, use Site ID '-99' which is the Mindbody sandbox.
Can I book classes or appointments through the AI agent?
Currently the server focuses on read operations for maximum safety. Write operations (booking, canceling) are planned for v2 and will require the optional User Token credential with staff-level permissions.
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.
