Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings DNV Renewables data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 11 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
What types of wind and solar data are available?
DNV Renewables provides over 40 climate datasets including: Mesoscale wind data (global and regional), Solar irradiance (GHI, DNI, DHI), Reanalysis datasets (ERA5, MERRA-2), Global wind energy atlas, Temperature, pressure, humidity, and more. Data covers onshore and offshore locations worldwide with time series from 1980s to present.
How do I get an API token for DNV Renewables?
Visit the DNV Renewables platform and contact your DNV account manager or visit the EMD/DNV Renewables website to request API access. Once your account is provisioned, you'll receive an API access token from your account dashboard. This token authenticates your requests and is linked to your subscription plan.
How does the data ordering process work?
The data ordering process is: 1) Check availability for your location, 2) Place an order with dataset, coordinates, and time period, 3) Wait ~30 seconds for processing, 4) Check order status until 'success', 5) Download the generated time series file. Note: Download links expire after 12 hours, so download promptly. Rate limit is 10 orders per 10 minutes.
What is mesoscale climate data and why is it useful?
Mesoscale climate data comes from numerical weather prediction models that simulate atmospheric conditions at regional scales (typically 1-50 km resolution). Unlike single-point measurements, mesoscale data provides spatially consistent, long-term time series essential for renewable energy resource assessment. It's used for wind farm siting, solar project planning, and long-term energy yield analysis because it captures multi-decadal climate patterns that short-term measurements miss.
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.
