Can I draft a new blog post using chat?

Yes. The `create_cms_post` tool allows your AI agent to create a new post. You can provide the title and content, and set the status to 'draft'. Once you are ready, you can update it to 'publish' using the same agent.

How do I get the direct URL for an image in my WordPress library?

Use the `list_media_attachments` tool. Your AI agent will return a list of recently uploaded media files, including their filenames and the direct public source URLs for easy sharing or embedding.

Is it possible to permanently delete a post instead of sending it to Trash?

Yes. When using the `delete_cms_post` tool, you can set the `force` parameter to true. This will bypass the WordPress Trash and permanently remove the post from your database.

WordPress + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating WordPress 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.
