FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I update the stock level of a product if the current count is wrong?

Yes! You can use the inventory_product_stock tool to set a specific new amount, or add_product_stock to increase the current count by a specific value.

How do I mark a household chore as completed?

Simply use the execute_chore tool with the specific Chore ID. This will record the execution time and update the next scheduled date in Grocy.

Can I see what ingredients I need to buy for my recipes?

You can use get_recipe to see the required ingredients for a specific dish, and then use get_shopping_list to see if they are already listed for purchase.

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.
