Can my AI automatically calculate the total value of my CS2 inventory?

Yes! By using the `get_user_inventory` tool, the agent retrieves all items. It can then cross-reference each item with the `get_market_price` tool to provide an estimated total monetary worth of your collection in seconds.

Is it possible to track the price history of a specific skin to see if it's a good investment?

Absolutely. Use the `get_market_price` tool. Your agent will retrieve historical data points from the Steam Market, allowing it to analyze price fluctuations and identify long-term value appreciation or depreciation.

How do I check for new trade offers received on my account?

Simply ask the agent to run the `get_active_trade_offers` action. It will fetch all active incoming and outgoing trade proposals, providing IDs and item details so you can manage your operations without manual checking.

Steam Economy & Market Intelligence + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Steam Economy & Market Intelligence 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.
