Frequently asked questions
Can I scan a suspicious link for viruses via AI?
Yes! Use the scan_url_for_viruses tool and provide the URL. Your agent will perform a real-time malware check and let you know if it's safe or malicious.
How do I convert a website to a PDF using the agent?
Use the convert_url_to_pdf tool. Provide the target URL, and the agent will render the page and provide a link to the generated PDF document.
Is it possible to resize an image URL via AI?
Absolutely. Use the resize_image_from_url action. Provide the image URL and the target width/height. The agent will return the resized image link.
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.
