Frequently asked questions
Can I enrich a professional profile using a LinkedIn URL?
Yes! Use the enrich_person tool and provide the li_profile_url. Your agent will trigger the enrichment in Captain Data and return the detailed profile data.
How do I check my remaining API credits?
Simply ask the agent to get_api_quotas. It will retrieve your current usage and remaining quotas for different types of operations from your Captain Data account.
Does the integration allow finding companies by their domain name?
Yes. Use the find_company tool and provide the domain (e.g., 'google.com'). It will retrieve the basic company identifiers and metadata from the Captain Data database.
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.
