Frequently asked questions
How is this different from Wine-Searcher?
Wine-Searcher focuses on pricing and market availability. Global Wine Score focuses exclusively on critic ratings — aggregating and normalizing scores from multiple reviewers into one objective number with a confidence index.
Which wine critics are included in the aggregated scores?
Global Wine Score aggregates ratings from major publications including Wine Advocate (Parker), Wine Spectator, Jancis Robinson, Vinous, Decanter, and several others to create a single normalized score.
What does the confidence index mean?
The confidence index reflects how reliable the aggregated score is. It takes into account the number of critics who reviewed the wine and the variance between their individual scores.
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.
