Built-in capabilities (10)
Choose the arming mode: "stay" (arms perimeter sensors like doors and windows but ignores interior motion detectors, ideal when occupants are home) or "away" (arms all sensors including interior motion, ideal when the property is empty). After arming, verify the new state with get_security_status. Arm the Honeywell Home security system
Use this when returning home or when authorized personnel need access. After disarming, verify the new state with get_security_status. Disarm the Honeywell Home security system
Returns data such as PM2.5 particulate levels, VOC (volatile organic compounds) index, CO2 concentration, humidity, and overall air quality rating. Use this to assess whether ventilation or air purification is needed. Get air quality readings from a Honeywell Home device
The returned data includes an image URL or base64-encoded snapshot. This is useful for a quick visual check of a room or area without streaming live video. Provide the camera device_id from get_devices. Capture a snapshot image from a Honeywell Home camera
Use the device_id obtained from get_devices. Useful for quickly verifying that a security camera is active and functioning before reviewing footage. Get the status of a Honeywell Home camera
Provide a locationId obtained from the get_locations tool. If no locationId is supplied, returns all devices across all locations. Useful for inventorying connected hardware. List all devices at a Honeywell Home location
) associated with the authenticated Honeywell Home account. Each location contains metadata such as name, address, timezone, and the list of devices registered at that address. Use this tool first to discover location IDs before querying devices or security systems. List all registered Honeywell Home locations
Returns whether the system is armed (stay or away mode), disarmed, or in alarm, along with the status of connected sensors (doors, windows, motion detectors). Provide a location_id from get_locations. Get the current status of the Honeywell Home security system
Use this to check what temperature the thermostat is targeting and whether the HVAC system is actively running. Get detailed thermostat readings and configuration
You can adjust the heat setpoint (minimum temperature), the cool setpoint (maximum temperature), or switch the operating mode (heat, cool, auto, off). Only send the parameters you want to change. After modifying setpoints, verify the change with get_thermostat_data. Use this to help users regulate heating and cooling remotely. Adjust the temperature setpoint on a Honeywell thermostat
Why VS Code Copilot?

Frequently asked questions
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.
