Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to enter my Bitstamp API keys?
Yes. Your keys are handled securely by the Vinkius Cloud environment and are never logged or exposed. We recommend creating an API key with only 'Read' and 'Trade' permissions, excluding 'Withdraw' for maximum safety.
What currency pairs are supported?
Bitstamp supports a wide range of pairs including BTC, ETH, XRP, LTC, BCH, and many more against USD, EUR, and GBP. Use the list_trading_pairs tool to see the full current list.
How do I find my Bitstamp API credentials?
Log in to your Bitstamp account, navigate to Settings > API Control, and click New API Key. Make sure to save your Key and Secret immediately as they won't be shown again.
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.
