Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key?
No! CoinCap's API is completely free and requires no authentication. Just subscribe and start querying. Rate limit is 30 requests/second on the free tier.
What cryptocurrencies are supported?
CoinCap tracks thousands of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Cardano, Dogecoin, Avalanche, Polkadot and many more. Use list_assets with the search parameter to find any coin by name or symbol.
Can I get OHLCV data for technical analysis?
Yes! Use get_candles with the asset ID and interval (m1, m5, m15, m30, h1, h2, h6, h12, d1). Returns open, high, low, close and volume for each candle period.
Can I see which exchanges list a specific crypto?
Yes! Use get_markets with asset_id to see all exchanges that list a specific cryptocurrency. Results include the exchange name, trading pair, current price, 24h volume and volume percentage.
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.
