Frequently asked questions
Can my AI find pickpoints for a specific carrier like PostNord or DHL?
Yes! Use the list_pickpoints tool with the carrier code (e.g., 'pnd' for PostNord, 'dhl' for DHL) and the zip code. Your agent will return a list of available locations instantly.
How do I check if I have enough balance to generate new labels?
Simply ask the AI to run the get_account_balance action. It will retrieve your real-time balance directly from your Shipmondo account.
Where do I find my API credentials?
Log in to your Shipmondo account, go to Settings > API > Access, and you will find your API User and API Key there.
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.
