DNSSEC Control — Enable, disable, or check the status of DNSSEC for any domain to ensure cryptographic security.
DS Records — Manage Delegation Signer (DS) records with tools to list, create, retrieve, and delete them for advanced DNS configurations.
Email Forwarding — List, create, and inspect email forwarding rules to manage your communication flow without leaving your agent.
Account Identity — Quickly identify the authenticated entity and list all accessible accounts and their IDs.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I check if DNSSEC is enabled for a specific domain?

You can use the get_dnssec tool by providing the Account ID and the Domain name. The agent will return the current DNSSEC status and details.

Can I list all domains across all my DNSimple accounts?

First, use list_accounts to see all available Account IDs. Then, use list_domains with each specific Account ID to retrieve the domains associated with that account.

Is it possible to manage email forwarding rules through this agent?

Yes! You can use list_email_forwards to see existing rules or create_email_forward to set up a new one for a specific domain.

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.
