FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can my AI agent update order statuses — like marking an order as shipped?

Yes. The add_order_history tool pushes a new status entry to any order. Provide the order ID, the OpenCart status ID (e.g., 3 for Shipped), and an optional comment. The status change appears immediately in the admin panel and triggers any configured email notifications.

Does it work with any OpenCart version?

This integration uses the native OpenCart REST API available in OpenCart 2.x and later. If your store is running OpenCart 1.x, the API endpoints won't be available. For OpenCart 3.x and 4.x, the API user setup is the same — just ensure the API user is enabled in System > Users > API.

What about IP restrictions — will the API reject requests?

OpenCart's API enforces an IP whitelist by default. When creating your API user, add the IP address of your server to the 'IP Addresses' tab. If you're running through a cloud proxy, add that proxy's IP. Without this step, all API requests will be rejected with a permission error.

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.
