FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I check a specific student's grades for a course?

Yes. Use the get_user_grades tool by providing the course_id and the student's username. The agent will return the grading breakdown for that specific user.

Is it possible to enroll a user in a course via the AI?

Absolutely. The enroll_in_course tool allows you to register the authenticated user into any course by specifying its unique course_id.

Can I update user profile information like names or emails?

Yes, the update_user_profile tool enables you to modify the name or email associated with a specific username in your Open edX instance.

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.
