Frequently asked questions
Where do I find the Event ID for a specific summit?
You can use the list_events tool to retrieve a list of all summits in your account. Each entry will include its unique numeric ID and name.
Can the agent handle speaker details and bios?
Yes! The list_speakers tool allows your agent to fetch professional profiles, bios, and social links for all speakers associated with an event.
How do I register a new attendee programmatically?
Use the create_attendee tool by providing the event_id, email, and name. The agent will confirm the registration status immediately.
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.
