Frequently asked questions
How do I get my VTEX API credentials?
Log in to your VTEX Admin, go to Account Settings → Application Keys, and create a new App Key. You'll receive an App Key and App Token pair. You also need your Account Name (the subdomain you use to access the VTEX Admin, e.g., 'mystore'). Ensure the key has Catalog and Logistics read/write permissions. No code, no SDK — just connect and go.
Can my agent update stock levels without opening the VTEX Admin?
Yes! Use the 'manage_stock' tool with a SKU ID and the new quantity. Your agent updates the inventory balance in real-time through the VTEX Logistics API — perfect for warehouse teams receiving shipments who need to update stock counts without navigating to the Inventory module.
How does product search work with categories and brands?
The 'search_products' tool supports three search modes: full-text (e.g., 'Nike Running Shoes'), by brand ID (e.g., 'b/1234'), or by category ID (e.g., 'c/5678'). This means your agent can quickly audit all products under a specific brand or explore an entire product category — no manual catalog browsing required.
Can I create new products and manage my entire catalog via AI?
Absolutely. The 'save_product' tool lets your agent create or update products by sending a structured JSON body. Combined with 'get_category' and 'get_brand' for classification, your agent can handle the full product lifecycle — from initial creation to SKU-level stock adjustments — ideal for merchandising teams managing large VTEX catalogs with thousands of products.
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.
