Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Creatomate API Key?
Log in to your Creatomate account, select your project, and navigate to Project Settings > API Keys to generate a secret key.
Can I provide dynamic text for videos?
Yes, you can use the 'modifications' parameter in the render_video tool to swap text, images, or colors defined in your template.
What is the rendering time?
Rendering time depends on video length and complexity, but Creatomate is optimized for speed. You can use the get_render_status tool to check when it's done.
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.
