Frequently asked questions
Can my agent trigger a new web crawl in Grepsr?
Yes. Use the 'run_report' tool. By providing the Report ID, the agent can programmatically trigger an on-demand crawl, starting the data extraction process immediately flawlessly.
How do I retrieve the actual scraped data records via chat?
You can use the 'get_report_data' or 'get_latest_data' tools. Your agent will fetch the structured records from Grepsr's database and present them in a readable format within your chat interface flawlessly.
Can I check my API usage limits through the agent?
Absolutely. Use the 'get_usage_stats' tool. Your agent will retrieve your current plan limits and remaining API credits, helping you manage your data extraction budget flawlessly.
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.
