Can I see exactly how many people are on my site right now?

Yes! The `get_now_overview` tool provides an instant snapshot of your concurrent active visitors. You can also use `get_now_pages` to see exactly which URLs they are currently reading.

How do I check traffic for a specific day in the past?

You can use any of the `get_trends_*` tools (like `get_trends_overview`) and provide the `date` parameter. You can use 'today', 'yesterday', or a specific date format like 'YYYY-MM-DD'.

Does it track which external links visitors click?

Yes. The real-time events functionality tracks specific outbound interactions out of the box, exposing exactly what resources capture audience interest the most.

GoSquared + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating GoSquared 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.
