How do I get started?

Our World Bank Open Data servers require absolutely zero authentication. You do not need to register, get an API key, or setup webhooks. Just instantly connect and your AI agent can begin querying decades of global data.

Can it track if a nation's CO2 emissions are rising?

Yes! Your agent pulls historical CO2 per capita statistics so it can mathematically verify if a nation is adhering to its climate pledges.

Can it map national deforestation trends?

Absolutely. The AI pulls 'forest area (% of land area)' indicators to provide accurate insights into conservation or deforestation across entire continents.

What is the scale of the data I can access?

You have direct access to 64 years of historical data covering 196+ sovereign states and global regional aggregates, powered directly by the World Bank's robust open data initiatives.

World Bank Climate & Energy + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating World Bank Climate & Energy 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.
