How do I get a Rebrickable API key?

Visit [**rebrickable.com/api**](https://rebrickable.com/api/), sign in with your Rebrickable account, and your API key will be displayed on the page. Copy it — it's a long alphanumeric string.

Can I search for sets by theme?

Yes! Use `list_sets` with `theme_id` to filter by theme. First use `list_themes` to find the theme ID (e.g. Star Wars = 170), then pass it to list_sets. You can also filter by year or part number.

Can I see the parts inventory for a set?

Yes! Use `get_set_parts` with the set number (e.g. "75192-1" for the Millennium Falcon). Returns every part with its part number, color ID, quantity and whether it's a spare. Set inc_minifig_parts to true to include minifig parts.

How many results can I get at once?

The API supports up to 1000 results per request. Use the `page_size` parameter (max 1000, default 100) and `page` for pagination. The total count and next/previous URLs are returned in each response.

Rebrickable LEGO + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Rebrickable LEGO 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.
