FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What channels does Hostaway support?

Hostaway connects to 200+ channels including Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, Expedia, Google, and TripAdvisor — managing 100,000+ listings worldwide.

Does Hostaway integrate with my own direct booking website?

Yes, Hostaway provides a robust engine to manage direct bookings from your own website alongside bookings from major OTAs like Airbnb and Booking.com.

Can I manage automated guest messaging through this integration?

Yes, the Hostaway API gives you full access to the unified inbox, allowing the AI to read messages, draft responses, and trigger automated communication workflows for your guests.

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.
