Frequently asked questions
Can I check the real-time performance of a specific campaign?
Yes! Use the get_campaign_performance tool with the Campaign ID. Your agent will fetch the latest KPIs including impressions, clicks, and spend directly from the Basis analytics engine.
How do I list all active tactics for my account?
Simply ask the agent to list_tactics. It will retrieve the execution-level line items, showing their status and basic configuration for your review.
Does this integration allow making changes to my budgets?
Currently, the toolset is focused on querying and analysis (Read-Only). You can list and inspect campaigns, tactics, and performance, but budget adjustments must be performed within the Basis DSP platform for security.
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.
