Frequently asked questions
Can I change the destination of a link without changing the short URL?
Yes! Use the edit_link_destination tool with the Link ID. Your agent will update the target URL in Capsulink, and the existing short link will immediately point to the new destination.
How do I check how many clicks a link received today?
Simply ask the agent to get_link_daily_stats and provide the Link ID. It will retrieve the click breakdown by day from your Capsulink account.
Does the integration allow using a custom back-half for my links?
Yes. When using the shorten_url action, you can provide the short_url parameter (e.g., 'summer-promo'). If available, Capsulink will create the link with that specific back-half.
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.
