Frequently asked questions
Can I trigger a data extraction for a specific URL?
Yes! Use the run_robot tool with the Robot ID and the target URL (origin_url). Your agent will create a new task in Browse AI to extract the data instantly.
How do I retrieve the data once a robot finishes its task?
Simply ask the agent to get_task and provide the Task ID. If the status is 'successful', it will return the JSON structure containing all the captured data fields.
Can I list all the robots I have trained in my account?
Yes. Use the list_robots tool. It will retrieve all the approved robots currently available in your Browse AI dashboard, including their names and unique IDs.
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.
