Verify explicitly organic SKU arrays discovering if explicitly bound targets cleanly convert natively
Execute tracking updates bounding explicitly analytical metrics over search bounds
Extract actively explicitly created Walmart Connect advertising boundaries analyzing natively
Suspend DSV explicitly parsing unfulfilled constraints isolating cleanly 1P seller structures natively
Update explicit boundaries actively executing budget parameters inherently safely resolving limits natively

Frequently asked questions
Can the LLM alter my product images using this MCP?
No. This MCP server targets Advertising endpoints only. To alter catalog media, use the general walmart-marketplace-mcp.
Can I adjust Cost-Per-Click bids dynamically?
Yes, you can monitor auction performance and instruct the agent to increase or decrease bids on specific converting keywords or ad groups natively.
Does this tool extract long-term advertising performance reports?
Absolutely. It runs async snapshot reports downloading dense ROI, ROAS, and conversion metrics directly from Walmart's ad exchange.
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.
