Frequently asked questions
Can I check if a video has been processed and is active?
Yes! Use the get_video tool with the Video ID. Your agent will fetch the current state, showing if it is 'ACTIVE', 'INACTIVE', or still being processed.
How do I list all the videos with a specific tag?
Simply ask the agent to list_videos and provide a search query like tags:summer. It will retrieve all matching media assets from your library.
Does the integration allow creating a new playlist?
Yes. Use the create_playlist action and provide a name and type (e.g., EXPLICIT or SMART). You can then organize your videos into this new collection.
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.
