Frequently asked questions
Can I get the current price of Bitcoin in EUR?
Yes! Use the get_bitcoin_price_global tool. The response will include the current rate for USD, GBP, and EUR as provided by the CoinDesk index.
How often is the BPI updated?
The Bitcoin Price Index (BPI) is updated every minute to reflect real-time market changes across global exchanges.
Which currencies are supported by CoinDesk?
CoinDesk supports dozens of global currencies. Use the list_supported_currencies tool to see the full list of ISO codes and names supported by the index.
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.
