Frequently asked questions
Can I check my PUBG or CS2 rankings automatically?
Yes! Use the get_user_stats tool with your Heybox User ID and the target game identifier. Your agent will retrieve your current rank, playtime, and other competitive metrics.
How do I find the correct board ID for community posts?
Board IDs correspond to specific game communities (e.g., PUBG, CS2, Cyberpunk 2077). You can find these IDs in the URL of the board when browsing the Heybox web portal.
Can I list active giveaways and lotteries on Heybox?
Yes! Use the list_lotteries tool. It will retrieve all currently active community giveaways where users can win game keys or other prizes.
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.
