Frequently asked questions
Can I see where a specific vehicle is right now?
Yes! Use the get_vehicle_position tool with the vehicle's registration or ID. The agent will return the latest GPS coordinates and the formatted address.
How do I check if there were any speeding alerts today?
Use the list_fleet_alerts tool. Your agent will fetch recent events, allowing you to filter for speeding incidents and see which vehicles and drivers were involved.
Where do I find my API Base URL?
The URL depends on your region. Common ones include https://fleetapi-za.cartrack.com/rest/ for South Africa or https://fleetapi-sg.cartrack.com/rest/ for Singapore. Check the Cartrack Developer Portal for your specific region.
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.
