Can I convert a document to PDF through the agent?

Yes! Use the `create_conversion_job` tool. You can define an import task for your file and a convert task with `output_format: 'pdf'`. The agent will handle the submission to CloudConvert.

How do I know when my conversion task is finished?

Use the `get_conversion_task_details` tool with your task ID. Your agent will return the current status, and once it shows 'finished', it will provide the download URL.

Where do I find my CloudConvert API Key?

Log in to your CloudConvert dashboard and navigate to **API v2 > API Keys**. You can generate and copy your personal API key from there.

CloudConvert + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating CloudConvert 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.
