- Background Removal — Remove backgrounds from any image and receive transparent PNGs
- Prompt Enhancement — Automatically expand simple prompts into detailed descriptions for better results
- Image Upscaling — Increase image resolution by 2x or 4x while preserving quality
- Image-to-Image — Transform existing images based on text prompts while keeping general structure
- Inpainting — Fill in masked areas of images with AI-generated content based on text prompts
- Model Selection — Browse available AI models and choose the best one for each task
- Generation History — Review all previously generated images with prompts, parameters, and download URLs

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings APImage data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Which AI image models are available?
Use the list_models tool to see all supported models. Current options include Flux 1 Dev, Flux 1 Schnell, Stable Diffusion XL, and DALL-E 3. Each model has different strengths for various visual styles.
Can my AI upscale an image and remove its background in one session?
Yes. Use upscale_image first to increase resolution, then remove_background on the result. Both tools accept image URLs, so you can chain operations seamlessly.
How does inpainting work?
The inpaint_image tool requires three inputs: the source image URL, a mask image URL (white areas = regions to fill), and a text prompt describing what to generate in those areas. The AI fills the masked regions while preserving the rest of the image.
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.
