Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key?
No! AcoustID's public API works without authentication using a default client key for basic lookups.
How does audio fingerprinting work?
AcoustID uses Chromaprint (fpcalc) to generate a fingerprint from audio. This fingerprint is matched against the database to identify the song. You need to run fpcalc on an audio file to get the fingerprint string.
What is MusicBrainz?
MusicBrainz is an open music encyclopedia that collects music metadata. AcoustID links audio fingerprints to MusicBrainz recordings, enabling song identification through the MusicBrainz ID (MBID).
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.
