Frequently asked questions
Can I send custom metadata with my events?
Yes! Use the props field in the send_event tool to provide a JSON object with key-value pairs representing your custom properties.
Is it possible to track the specific OS version?
Absolutely. The send_event tool requires osName and osVersion parameters to ensure your telemetry is correctly segmented in the Aptabase dashboard.
Can I use this for self-hosted Aptabase instances?
Yes, you can optionally provide a baseUrl in the configuration to point the MCP server to your own self-hosted Aptabase instance.
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.
