Frequently asked questions
Can the AI generate a native download link for a large video asset?
Yes. Once the agent identifies the particular asset ID from a list command, you can request a direct download link. It invokes the platform's specific get_download_link route avoiding manual gallery searching.
Will it discover collections created by other members of my team?
Yes. The list_user_collections endpoint enables cross-inspections returning aggregated folders that exist on Bynder infrastructure letting you know precisely which assets were curated by designers.
Does the integration allow altering taxonomy and metadata fields?
Yes. Using the patch_asset_metadata functionality, you can ask your AI to append missing SEO properties natively directly inside your Bynder catalog records.
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.
