Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Fixer.io API Key?
Log in to your Fixer.io account, and you will find your API Key in your dashboard. Copy and paste it below.
What is the base currency for rates?
By default, Fixer.io uses EUR as the base currency. You can specify a different base currency in the get_latest_exchange_rates tool if your plan supports it.
Does it support historical exchange rates?
Yes. The get_historical_exchange_rate tool retrieves exchange rates for any specific date back to 1999.
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.
