- Content Editing — Update video metadata, set allowed origins for security, and schedule automatic deletions.
- Upload Workflows — Initiate video uploads using the TUS protocol with custom metadata and size specifications.
- Deletion Control — Permanently remove videos or live inputs when they are no longer needed.

Frequently asked questions
Can I filter my video list to see only videos that are ready to watch?
Yes! Use the list_videos tool and set the status parameter to 'ready'. You can also filter by type (vod or live) and search for specific names.
How do I create a new live streaming endpoint?
You can use the create_live_input tool. You can optionally provide metadata like a stream name and configure whether the stream should be automatically recorded.
Is it possible to update the metadata of an existing video?
Absolutely. Use the edit_video tool with the video's identifier. You can update the meta object, change allowedOrigins, or toggle requireSignedURLs.
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.
