Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Cannlytics API Key?
Sign up on the Cannlytics platform, navigate to your account settings, and generate a new API key.
Can I see medical effects for strains?
Yes, the get_effects tool returns positive, negative, and medical effects reported by users for each strain.
Does it include flavor profiles?
Yes, use the get_flavors tool to see detailed flavor descriptors like earthy, sweet, citrus, and more.
Can I find similar strains to one I already know?
Yes! Use the get_similar_strains tool to discover related strains based on genetics and shared characteristics.
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.
