Frequently asked questions
Can I convert a specific URL to a PDF through the agent?
Yes! Use the convert_url_to_pdf tool with the public URL. The agent will instruct cloudlayer.io to render the page and return a link to the generated PDF.
How do I see my current document generation usage?
Use the get_cloudlayer_usage_stats tool. Your agent will fetch your current usage data, showing how many documents and images you have generated against your quota.
Where do I find my cloudlayer.io API Key?
Log in to your cloudlayer.io dashboard. You can find your API key in the main dashboard view or under the API settings section.
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.
