Frequently asked questions
Can I check the balance of any Bitcoin address?
Yes! Use the get_address tool with the public Bitcoin address. Your agent will fetch the current balance (in Satoshis) and the transaction history directly from the blockchain.
How do I see the current price of Bitcoin in USD?
Simply ask the agent to get_ticker. It will retrieve the latest exchange rates for BTC across multiple currencies, including USD, EUR, and GBP.
Does the integration allow sending Bitcoin?
No. For security reasons, the current toolset is focused exclusively on blockchain data discovery and analysis (Read-Only). Sending transactions requires a private wallet and specialized signing procedures not supported by this data-centric server.
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.
