Frequently asked questions
Can it search for specific file types like PDFs or PNGs?
Absolutely. Through the list_assets capability, the AI can parse queries finding exactly what format you need among your organization's total index.
Can the AI return download links for an asset?
Yes. Upon locating an asset, you can ask the AI to provide the CDN URL representing the final high-resolution source file directly in the chat.
Is my API token secure during the requests?
Yes. The API Token is encrypted at rest and dynamically injected strictly at the runtime limit inside a secure sandbox container. Keys are never exposed within chat interactions.
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.
