FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I filter blog entries by a specific topic like 'Civil Rights'?

Yes. Use the list_blog_entries tool and set the title parameter to 'Civil Rights'. This will return entries matching that specific keyword.

How do I get the full text of a press release?

Once you have the UUID from a list, use the get_press_release tool with that uuid. It will return the full body, URL, and metadata.

Can I control how many results are returned per query?

Yes, use the pagesize parameter (default 20, max 50) and the page parameter to navigate through the results.

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.
