Frequently asked questions
Can I check my remaining credit balance using the agent?
Yes! Use the get_profile tool. Your agent will fetch your account profile, including the current total credit balance available for sending messages.
How do I send an SMS to multiple people at once?
Simply ask the agent to send_bulk_sms and provide a JSON array of messages. Each object should include the recipient's phone number and the message body.
Does the integration support checking if a message was delivered?
Yes. Use the get_message tool with the Message ID. It will retrieve the current delivery status directly from BulkSMS.com.
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.
