Frequently asked questions
Can I see my bandwidth usage for this month?
Yes! Use the get_cloudinary_usage_report tool. The agent will return core usage statistics, including current bandwidth and storage utilization compared to your plan limits.
How do I find all images tagged with 'summer'?
Use the search_media_library tool with an expression like tags:summer. Your agent will fetch all matching resources directly from your library.
Where do I find my Cloudinary API Secret and Cloud Name?
Log in to your Cloudinary Console. You can find your Cloud Name, API Key, and API Secret on the Dashboard main page under 'Account Details'.
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.
