FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I see the current league table for a specific competition like the Premier League?

Yes. Use the get_competition_standings tool with the competition code (e.g., 'PL' for Premier League). It will return the full standings including points, goals, and form.

How do I find the top goal scorers for the current Champions League season?

Simply use the list_competition_scorers tool and provide the competition ID or code (e.g., 'CL'). The agent will list the top players and their goal counts.

Is it possible to check the match history or upcoming fixtures for a specific team?

Yes, you can use list_team_matches by providing the Team ID. You can also filter by status (e.g., 'FINISHED' or 'SCHEDULED') to see past or future games.

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.
