Frequently asked questions
How do I get an Alpha Vantage API key?

What technical indicators are available?
Alpha Vantage supports 50+ technical indicators including SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic, ADX, ATR, CCI, Williams %R, and many more. Currently this MCP server exposes RSI, with more indicators available on request.
Can I get cryptocurrency data?
Yes! Use get_crypto_daily with the crypto symbol (e.g. 'BTC', 'ETH', 'SOL') and market currency (e.g. 'USD', 'EUR'). Returns daily OHLCV data for the cryptocurrency pair.
How much historical data is available?
Alpha Vantage provides 20+ years of historical data for most stocks. Use the get_daily_time_series tool with outputsize 'full' to access the complete history. The compact mode returns the last 100 data points.
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.
