Frequently asked questions
Can I check the progress of a video encoding job using the agent?
Yes! Use the get_encoding_job tool with the Job ID. Your agent will fetch the real-time progress percentage and current status directly from ByteNite.
How do I list all the available encoding templates?
Simply ask the agent to list_templates. It will retrieve all the configured encoding profiles in your ByteNite account, making it easy to find the right settings for a new job.
Does the integration allow creating a new encoding job?
Yes. Use the create_encoding_job action and provide the Template ID and the input video URL. The job will be queued and processed by the ByteNite distributed network instantly.
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.
