Frequently asked questions
How can I check the current debt levels for municipalities in Alicante?
You can use the get_live_debt tool to retrieve the 'Deuda Viva' dataset, which contains financial data regarding the outstanding debt of local municipalities.
Is it possible to see the distribution of foreign residents by their country of origin?
Yes. The get_foreign_population_by_country tool provides detailed statistics on the foreign population residing in the province, categorized by nationality.
Can I find information about local festivals like Moors and Christians?
Absolutely. Use the get_moors_and_christians_festivals tool for specific data on those celebrations, or get_official_local_festivals for the general provincial festival calendar.
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.
