Frequently asked questions
How can I see all the laws and decrees published in the BOE on a specific date?
Use the get_boe_summary tool by providing the date in YYYYMMDD format. The agent will return the full index of documents and sections published on that day.
Can I search for the most recent version of a specific law like the Civil Code?
Yes! You can use search_consolidated_legislation with a query like 'Código Civil' to find the latest updated version, or use get_legislation_text if you already have the ID (e.g., BOE-A-1889-4763).
Is it possible to retrieve only a specific article of a law instead of the whole text?
Absolutely. First, use get_legislation_text_index to find the block ID for the article you need, then use get_legislation_block to fetch only that specific content.
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.
