FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I create a draft without publishing it immediately?

Yes! When using the create_article tool, simply set the published parameter to false. The article will be saved as a draft in your account.

How do I find my own articles that I haven't published yet?

You can use the get_my_unpublished_articles tool. It will return a list of all your drafts currently stored on DEV.to.

Is it possible to update the tags or content of an existing post?

Absolutely. Use the update_article tool with the specific article id. You can modify the title, body, tags, and other metadata fields.

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.
