Can I search for posts matching a specific tag across Tumblr?

Yes! Use the `list_tagged_posts` tool and provide your tag. Your agent will retrieve the latest posts from across the platform that use that specific tag.

How do I see the posts from a specific blog like 'officialtumblr'?

Run the `list_blog_posts` query with the blog name. You can optionally filter by type (e.g., 'photo' or 'quote') to see only the content you're interested in.

Is it possible to retrieve the avatar URL of a blog via AI?

Absolutely. Use the `get_blog_avatar` tool and provide the blog name. You can also specify an optional size to get the image URL that best fits your needs.

Tumblr + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Tumblr 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.
