Frequently asked questions
How do I get an Airbnb API key?
Airbnb's API access is available through their partner program. Visit the Airbnb partner portal, apply for API access, and upon approval you'll receive your API credentials. Alternatively, many travel data aggregators provide Airbnb data via API keys that can be used with this server.
Can I search for listings in multiple cities at once?
Yes! Simply run the search_listings tool multiple times with different location parameters. The AI agent can compare results across cities, helping you choose the best destination based on price, availability, and ratings.
Can I book a listing directly through this integration?
This integration focuses on search, discovery, and information retrieval. You can find available listings, check pricing, read reviews, and verify availability. To complete a booking, you'll need to use the Airbnb website or app directly. The AI agent can provide booking links for each listing found.
What are Airbnb Experiences and how can I find them?
Airbnb Experiences are unique activities hosted by locals — from food tours and cooking classes to adventure sports and cultural workshops. Use the search_experiences tool with a location to discover activities in your destination. You can also filter by date to see what's available during your stay. Each experience includes details about what's included, meeting point, duration, and reviews from previous participants.
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.
