How do I find my Aliyun AccessKey ID and Secret?

Log in to the [Alibaba Cloud Console](https://usercenter.console.aliyun.com/), navigate to [AccessKey Management] to find or create your unique ID and Secret.

A VideoId is the unique identifier for a video file in the Aliyun VOD system. It is assigned when a video is created or uploaded and is required for all video-specific operations like metadata retrieval or playback info.

Does this server handle authentication signatures?

Yes! The server automatically calculates the required Aliyun RPC signature (HMAC-SHA1) for every request using your provided AccessKey Secret, ensuring secure authorized communication with the Aliyun VOD gateway.

Aliyun VOD / 阿里云视频点播 + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Aliyun VOD / 阿里云视频点播 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.
