Frequently asked questions
Can my AI calculate NDVI for my corn field and show me the vegetation health trend over the growing season?
Yes! Use the get_ndvi_timeseries tool with your field ID and the growing season date range (e.g., date_from=2025-04-01, date_to=2025-10-31). This returns NDVI values for each satellite overpass, showing vegetation health progression from planting through harvest. You can also use get_vegetation_index with index=NDVI for point-in-time analysis, or render_index_map to generate a visual color-coded NDVI map of your field.
How do I get weather forecasts and soil moisture data to plan irrigation for my fields?
Use get_weather_forecast with your field ID and forecast_range=15_days or 1_month to get upcoming precipitation and temperature forecasts. Combine this with get_soil_moisture to check current soil moisture levels at root zone depth. Together these tools help you determine if and when irrigation is needed. For historical context, use get_weather_data with past dates to understand rainfall patterns and evapotranspiration trends.
Can I generate a zoning map to identify low and high productivity areas within my field?
Yes! Use the get_zoning_map tool with your field ID. You can specify the vegetation index (NDVI is most common), number of zones (3-5 recommended), and date for analysis. The API returns zone boundaries, average index values per zone, area percentages, and management recommendations. This is essential for variable rate application (VRA), precision fertilization, and targeted irrigation planning.
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.
