Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key for market data?
No! All public market data endpoints (tickers, klines, orderbook, trades, instruments, funding, open interest) are completely free and open. No authentication required.
What trading categories are available?
Four categories: "spot" (spot trading), "linear" (USDT/USDC perpetual & futures), "inverse" (inverse perpetual & futures), "option" (options). Use get_instruments to see all available pairs.
What kline intervals are supported?
Intervals: 1, 3, 5, 15, 30, 60, 120, 240, 360, 720 (minutes), D (daily), W (weekly), M (monthly). Up to 1000 candles per request.
What is funding rate?
Funding rate is a periodic payment exchanged between long and short traders in perpetual futures. Positive rate means longs pay shorts. It keeps the perpetual price close to the spot price. Payments occur every 8 hours on Bybit.
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.
