Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the details for a specific SMS subscriber by providing their ID?
Yes! Use the get_subscriber tool with the Subscriber ID. Your agent will respond with the complete metadata for the profile, including opt-in status and association keywords in seconds.
How do I find my Postscript Private API Key?
Log in to your Postscript account, navigate to Settings > API, and you will find your unique secret Private Key (starting with sk-) there.
Can I use the AI to see my SMS campaigns?
Absolutely. Use the list_campaigns tool to retrieve all your sent and scheduled SMS campaigns, along with their metadata and performance metrics.
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.
