Frequently asked questions
What is a sender ID and why do I need one?
A sender ID is the alphanumeric label (3-11 characters) that appears as the sender on the recipient's phone. Approved sender IDs help increase trust and open rates for your messages.
Can I receive replies to my SMS messages?
Yes! Use the list_responses tool to retrieve any incoming messages from your customers. This allows your agent to handle two-way communication workflows.
How do I ensure my SMS is delivered at a specific time?
When using the send_sms tool, provide a YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS string in the date parameter. AvoSMS will queue the message and deliver it exactly at the requested time.
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.
