Frequently asked questions
How do I find my WA Smart Business API Key?
Log in to your account, navigate to Settings > API, and copy your unique Access Token or API Key from the credentials section.
Can I send PDFs or Images via AI?
Yes! The send_whatsapp_media tool allows your agent to send high-fidelity files by providing the recipient's number and the media URL.
How do I list my support agents?
Use the list_whatsapp_agents tool to retrieve your complete high-fidelity directory along with the current assignments for all team members.
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.
