Frequently asked questions
Can my agent create events using natural language phrases like in the Fantastical app?
Yes. Use the 'create_event' tool. Fantastical's engine is designed to parse phrases like 'Lunch with Bob at 1pm next Tuesday'. The agent will transmit the string and return the structured event data flawlessly.
How do I see my available scheduling links (Openings) via chat?
Use the 'list_openings' tool. Your agent will retrieve all your active scheduling pages, providing the booking link URLs and duration settings so you can share them with others easily.
Can I suggest multiple meeting times to someone through the agent?
Absolutely. Use the 'list_proposals' tool to monitor existing suggestions. Fantastical Proposals allow you to offer several slots to attendees, and your agent can help you track their responses and finalize the event.
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.
