Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Arcadia Utility Cloud credentials?
You can generate API Client credentials in the Arcadia Dashboard. These credentials provide access to the Utility Cloud (formerly Urjanet) datasets.
Is consumption data available for all meters?
Yes, basic consumption data is available via the get_meter_data tool for any meter successfully linked and scraped by the Arcadia platform.
Does this replace the Arcadia Plug server?
This server specifically targets Utility Cloud (historical and aggregate bill data), while Arcadia Plug is designed for real-time account linking and higher-resolution data. They can be used together.
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.
