Frequently asked questions
Can I update a content entry using the agent?
Yes! Use the update_content_entry tool with the Model name and Entry ID. You can provide a new data JSON string to modify the content fields directly from your workspace.
How do I list all the models defined in my space?
Simply ask the agent to list_models. It will retrieve all the content models (like 'page', 'header', 'announcement-bar') configured in your Builder.io account.
Does the integration allow checking API usage limits?
Yes. Use the get_api_usage tool. It will retrieve real-time statistics about your API requests, helping you monitor your performance and limits.
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.
