Frequently asked questions
How can I see which blank products are available to customize?
You can use the list_blueprints tool. It retrieves the full catalog of available blank items (blueprints) that you can use to create your custom products.
Is it possible to check shipping costs for a specific product and provider?
Yes! Use the get_shipping tool by providing the Blueprint ID and Print Provider ID. It will return the exact shipping costs and handling times for that combination.
Can I list all the products currently in one of my shops?
Absolutely. Use the list_products tool with your Shop ID to fetch all products created within that specific shop, including their status and details.
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.
