Frequently asked questions
How can I access specific datasets like the national debt or federal spending?
You can use the query_dataset tool. Simply provide the endpoint path (e.g., 'v1/debt/mspd/mspd_table_1' for the Monthly Statement of the Public Debt) and any optional filters to get the exact data you need.
Can I filter the financial data by a specific date or currency?
Yes! All tools like get_rates_of_exchange and get_mts_table_1 support a filter parameter. For example, use record_date:eq:2023-12-31 to get data for a specific day or country_currency_desc:eq:CANADA-DOLLAR for specific currency rates.
What is the difference between Table 1 and Table 9 in the Monthly Treasury Statement?
The get_mts_table_1 tool provides a high-level summary of receipts, outlays, and the surplus or deficit. The get_mts_table_9 tool provides a more granular breakdown of Budgetary Receipts by reporting entity and major source.
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.
