Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings ENTSO-E data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 12 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
Can my AI get day-ahead electricity prices for Germany?
Yes! Use the get_day_ahead_prices tool with area code "10YDE-RWENET---I" (Germany) and your desired date range in YYYYMMDDHHmm format. Returns day-ahead market clearing prices in EUR/MWh for each trading period. For other countries, use their respective ENTSO-E bidding zone codes.
How do I check renewable energy generation forecasts for France?
Use the get_wind_solar_forecast tool with France area code "10YFR-RTE------C". This returns day-ahead wind and solar generation forecasts in MW. You can also use get_day_ahead_generation to see the full generation mix including nuclear, fossil, hydro, and renewables broken down by source.
Can I track cross-border electricity flows between countries?
Yes! Use the get_crossborder_flows tool with the bidding zone area code to get scheduled imports and exports. This shows the planned electricity flows across interconnectors, essential for understanding cross-border trading and grid utilization.
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.
