Frequently asked questions
Can my AI verify if phone numbers are registered on WhatsApp?
Yes. Use the check_contacts tool with a comma-separated list of phone numbers. The agent returns the WhatsApp registration status for each number instantly.
How do I send a pre-approved template message?
Use the send_template_message tool. Provide the recipient phone number, the template name, and the language code (e.g., en_US). The agent delivers the template through the 360dialog API.
Can I send images and documents through WhatsApp via AI?
Yes. The send_media_message tool supports image, video, document, and audio types. Provide the media URL and type, and the agent delivers it directly to the WhatsApp contact.
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.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
