FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I see the status of all my cloud servers at once?

Yes, the list_servers tool retrieves a complete list of your instances, including their IDs, status, and labels.

Is it possible to turn on a server that is currently powered off?

Absolutely. Use the poweron_server tool with the specific Server ID to initiate the power-on sequence.

Can I manage security rules through this integration?

Yes, you can use list_firewalls to audit existing rules and create_firewall to set up new protection layers for your infrastructure.

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.
