Can I use this with my self-hosted FastGPT instance?

Yes! Simply provide your custom domain in the **Base URL** field (e.g., `https://fastgpt.mycompany.com`). The MCP will route all requests to your specific instance.

How do I add new data to an existing dataset?

Use the `push_dataset_data` tool. You can send a JSON array of objects containing the text content to be indexed. FastGPT will handle the chunking and embedding automatically.

What is the 'goods_sign' used for in Pinduoduo tools?

Wait, this is the FastGPT FAQ. For FastGPT, you mostly need Dataset IDs and App IDs. The 'goods_sign' is specific to the Pinduoduo MCP. Always check you are using the correct tools for the specific platform.

About FastGPT MCP Server

Connect your AI workflows to FastGPT, the powerful open-source platform for building knowledge-based AI applications. This MCP provides 12 tools for full lifecycle management of datasets, apps, and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings FastGPT data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 12 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

What you can do

Dataset Orchestration — Create, list, and manage knowledge base datasets with granular control over configurations
Document Ingestion — Push text content or chunks directly to datasets for automatic indexing and vectorization
Semantic Search — Run advanced semantic queries against your knowledge bases to test relevance and RAG quality
Application Management — List and inspect AI applications to monitor their configurations and linked datasets
OpenAI-Compatible Chat — Trigger RAG-powered chat completions with full context, session tracking, and intermediate step visibility

The FastGPT MCP Server exposes 12 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

FastGPT + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating FastGPT 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.
