Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key?
No! The Harry Potter API (hp-api.onrender.com) is completely free and requires no authentication. Just subscribe and start exploring.
What houses are available?
All four Hogwarts houses: gryffindor, slytherin, ravenclaw and hufflepuff. Use get_house_characters to filter by any house.
Does the API include creatures and non-human characters?
Yes! get_all_characters includes humans, magical creatures, ghosts and sentient beings. Each entry includes species info (human, half-giant, house-elf, centaur, etc.).
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.
