FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Duolingo account to use this?

No! Public endpoints like user profiles, version info and dictionary hints work without authentication. Just provide a username to look up. For private data (your own progress, store items), you'd need to be logged into Duolingo.

What languages are supported?

Duolingo supports 40+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hindi and many more. Use get_version_info to see the full list of supported language codes.

Can I get my full learning progress?

The public API returns limited profile data. For full progress including individual skill levels and detailed stats, you need to be authenticated with your Duolingo session. The username-based endpoint returns basic info like total XP, streak and current language.

Can I get translation hints for vocabulary?

Yes! Use get_dictionary_hints with target and source language codes plus a list of words. It returns common translations for each word, useful for building flashcards or studying vocabulary.

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.
