How do I start a transcription for a public video?

Use the `upload_media_for_transcription` tool and provide the public `file_url` along with the source language code (e.g., 'en' for English).

Can I choose which AI voice to use for dubbing?

Yes, first use the `list_available_ai_voices` tool to find a voice ID that matches your target language and gender, then provide it to the `generate_ai_voiceover` tool.

What formats can I export my transcripts in?

The `export_transcription_results` tool supports formats such as 'srt', 'vtt', 'txt', 'pdf', and 'json'.

Maestra + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Maestra 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.
