FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I check shipping rates for a specific order before creating a label?

Yes! Use the get_rates tool. Provide the carrier, service, and package details to receive real-time pricing for your shipment.

How do I list all orders that are currently awaiting shipment?

You can use the list_orders tool and set the order_status parameter to 'awaiting_shipment'. This will return all orders ready for fulfillment.

Is it possible to add funds to my carrier account through the AI?

Yes, the add_funds tool allows you to add a specific amount to a carrier account (like Stamps.com) using the payment method you have on file in ShipStation.

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.
