Frequently asked questions
Where do I find my Convertio API Key?
Log in to the Convertio developer dashboard at developers.convertio.co. Go to 'API Keys' in the account menu, click 'Generate', copy the key, and paste it below.
Are there file size limitations?
Yes. Limits depend on your Convertio billing plan. Free tiers have strict file size limits and usage quotas. The integration passes files through the API transparently — your plan determines the max capacity.
Does the agent download the converted file automatically?
No. For security, the agent provides you with the download URL once the conversion finishes. You decide when and where to save the file.
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.
