FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

How do I find my CloudConvert API Key?

Log in to your account, navigate to the Dashboard, click on API in the sidebar, and generate or copy your secret key.

02

Which formats are supported for conversion?

CloudConvert supports over 200 formats including PDF, DOCX, XLSX, MP4, MKV, MP3, JPG, PNG, and many more.

03

What is the 'Sandbox' mode?

The Sandbox is a testing environment that allows you to run conversion jobs for free. Note that files processed in Sandbox are not actual conversions.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.

07

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.

08

MCP tools not available

Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
