Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically update the stock count for a specific product just by providing its ID?
Yes! Use the update_stock tool. Provide the Product ID and the new stock count, and your agent will synchronize it across your ShippingBo warehouses instantly.
How do I monitor the status of warehouse slots to see how my inventory is organized?
Simply ask the agent to run the list_warehouse_slots action. It will retrieve the full list of storage slots configured in your ShippingBo account.
How do I find my ShippingBo API credentials?
Log in to your ShippingBo account, navigate to Settings > API, and you will find your unique API User (X-API-USER) and Token (X-API-TOKEN) 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.
