Frequently asked questions
Can I check the total play count for an episode using the agent?
Yes! Use the get_episode tool with the Episode ID. Your agent will fetch the detailed metadata, which includes the total_plays field for that specific episode.
How do I update the description of a podcast episode?
Simply ask the agent to update_episode and provide the Episode ID and the new description. The information will be synchronized with Buzzsprout immediately.
Does the integration allow uploading new audio files?
Currently, the toolset focuses on managing metadata, status, and analytics. Creating an episode via create_episode allows setting the title and description, but the audio file upload should be managed through the Buzzsprout web interface.
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.
