FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an API key to use this?

No! This integration works without any API key. Simply subscribe and start discovering music right away.

Can I stream music through the API?

The API provides track metadata and links to Bandcamp pages where you can listen. Direct audio streaming is available on Bandcamp's website and app.

What genres are available?

Bandcamp covers all major genres: rock, electronic, hip-hop, jazz, classical, metal, folk, ambient, punk, experimental, world music and many more. Use get_genres to see the full list.

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.
