Can I query sleep data for a specific date range?

Yes! Use the sleep time series tool to query sleep trends across any date range. You can also inspect a single night in detail with the sleep date tool, including all sleep stages.

What health metrics can I access?

You can access 14 different health metrics: activities, sleep (date & time series), heart rate (date & time series), SpO2, breathing rate, cardio fitness score, body weight, water intake, food logs, device info, and user profile.

Fitbit + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Fitbit 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.
