Can my AI automatically reply to comments on specific videos?

Yes! Use the `reply_comment` tool with the video's `item_id` and the specific `comment_id`. Your agent will send the text reply directly to the Douyin platform.

How do I obtain the 'open_id' for a user?

The `open_id` is a unique identifier for a user within your application. It is typically returned along with the `access_token` during the standard Douyin OAuth 2.0 authorization process.

Can I search for trending videos using this MCP?

Yes! Use the `search_videos` tool with specific keywords. Your agent will return a list of public videos matching your query, along with their metadata and statistics.

Douyin Open Platform + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Douyin Open Platform 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.
