Frequently asked questions
How do I get an Elai.io API Key?
Log in to your Elai.io account, navigate to Account Settings → API, and you can generate or retrieve your unique API Key from there. API access may require a specific plan.
Can the agent render videos automatically?
Yes, you can use the trigger_video_rendering tool to start the rendering process for any existing video project directly via the agent.
Does the integration show final video URLs?
Yes, once a video has finished rendering (status: ready), the agent can retrieve the final output URL through the get_video_details tool.
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.
