Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Heyzine API key?
Log in to your Heyzine account and navigate to the API section in your dashboard to generate or copy your unique Bearer token.
What file formats can be converted into flipbooks?
Heyzine currently supports PDF, DOCX, and PPTX files for seamless conversion into professional interactive digital publications.
Can I manage bookshelves through this AI integration?
Yes! Use the list_bookshelves and add_to_bookshelf tools to organize your flipbooks into collections for easier access and distribution.
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.
