Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Aidbase API Key?
Log in to your account, navigate to Settings > API Keys, and generate a new key for your integration.
Can I test bot responses via AI?
Yes! The send_aidbase_reply tool allows your agent to interact with specific bots and retrieve high-fidelity AI responses programmatically.
How do I teach the AI a new URL?
Use the add_aidbase_website_knowledge tool and provide the target URL. Aidbase will automatically crawl and index the content for your bots.
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.
