Frequently asked questions
Can I trigger a browser task with a different starting URL?
Yes! Use the run_task tool and provide the Task ID. In the overrides field, you can pass a JSON object like {"url": "https://newsite.com"} to change the starting point dynamically.
How do I see the screenshot captured by a task?
Simply ask the agent to get_run and provide the Run ID. Once the status is 'finished', the response will include a screenshot_url that you can click to view the image.
Does the integration allow taking a quick screenshot without a saved task?
Yes. Use the take_screenshot action and provide the URL. It will create a simplified run that captures the page and returns the result URL once processed.
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.
