Can I search for a song using only a few words from the lyrics?

Yes! Use the `search_tracks` tool and provide the words in the `q_lyrics` parameter. Your agent will find all tracks that contain those specific lyrics.

How do I get the full discography for a specific artist?

First, find the artist's unique ID using `search_artists`. Then, use the `get_artist_albums` tool with that ID to retrieve the list of all their recorded albums.

Is it possible to see which songs are currently trending in my country?

Absolutely. Use the `get_top_tracks` tool and provide your country code (e.g., 'us', 'br', 'fr'). Your agent will return the current top tracks chart for that location.

Musixmatch + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Musixmatch 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.
