Frequently asked questions
How do I obtain my FanPower (PickUp) API Key?
You can request an API Key from your account manager at PickUp or through their developer portal at wiki.playpickup.com.
Can I see the results of individual fan predictions?
Yes! The list_picks and get_pick_details tools allow you to retrieve individual answers submitted by fans for any interactive content.
Is it possible to monitor the fan leaderboard?
Absolutely. Use the get_leaderboard tool to see the top-performing fans based on their participation and prediction accuracy.
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.
