Can I resolve a location using GPS coordinates instead of an IP address?

Yes. Tools like `get_timezone` and `get_astronomy` accept optional latitude and longitude parameters. This allows your agent to retrieve environmental and temporal data for any point on Earth, even if you don't have a target IP.

How do I check if a specific location is currently observed in Daylight Saving Time (DST)?

Use the `get_timezone` tool by providing a timezone name (e.g. 'America/New_York'). Your agent will return the full timezone payload, including the `is_dst` boolean and current UTC offset.

Can my agent find out the sunrise and sunset times for a given IP?

Absolutely. Use the `get_astronomy` tool and provide the target IP. Your agent will calculate the precise location and return astronomical data including sunrise, sunset, solar noon, and day length.

About IPGeolocation (IP Intelligence & Time) MCP Server

Connect your IPGeolocation.io account to any AI agent and take full control of global IP intelligence and time-based analytics through natural conversation.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings IPGeolocation (IP Intelligence & Time) data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 3 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

What you can do

IP Intelligence — Resolve IPv4 or IPv6 addresses to precise geographic locations, including city, country, and GPS coordinates directly from your agent
Network Audit — Extract detailed ISP information, organization names, and connection types to identify the infrastructure behind any IP request
Timezone Analytics — Retrieve precise local time, UTC offsets, and Daylight Saving Time (DST) status for any global location or coordinate set
Astronomy Data — Access planetary metrics including sunrise, sunset, and moon phases for specific Earth locations to power context-aware applications
Financial Localization — Get local currency details, including names and symbols, associated with an IP's detected jurisdiction for localized pricing audits
Geo-Spatial Tools — Perform location and astronomy lookups using direct latitude and longitude coordinates when an IP address is not available

IPGeolocation (IP Intelligence & Time) + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating IPGeolocation (IP Intelligence & Time) 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.
