How do I check if a player is offline?

Use the `list_players` tool. It will return a list of all players including their current status (online/offline) and last seen timestamp.

Can I see which media files are available for broadcast?

Yes. Use the `list_medias` tool to retrieve your library, including filenames, IDs, and file types. This is perfect for auditing your content before scheduling.

Is it possible to manage users via the agent?

You can list existing users and groups using the `list_users` tool to audit permissions and access, but creating or deleting users must be done in the 4YouSee Manager.

4YouSee + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating 4YouSee MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

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.
