Frequently asked questions
Can I search for a specific student using their email address?
Yes! Use the list_users tool and provide the email address as a filter. The agent will return the user's details, including their ID and signup information.
Is it possible to see if a transaction has been refunded?
Absolutely. The list_transactions tool allows you to filter by is_fully_refunded. You can also filter by course ID or user ID to narrow down your search.
Can I update a user's name if they made a typo during registration?
Yes. Use the update_user tool with the student's user_id and the new name. The agent will process the update and confirm the changes in your Teachable school.
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.
