VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key to use ImageCharts?
The API key is optional. Without it, generated charts include a watermark. With a paid API key, charts are watermark-free and you get higher rate limits. The key is passed as a query parameter to image-charts.com/chart.
What chart types can I generate?
Six types: bar charts (generate_bar_chart), pie charts (generate_pie_chart), line charts (generate_line_chart), radar charts (generate_radar_chart), bubble charts (generate_bubble_chart), and QR codes (generate_qr_code). Each supports custom colors, labels, sizes, and data series.
Can I generate QR codes from any text or URL?
Yes. The generate_qr_code tool creates a scannable QR code image from any text, URL, or data string. You can customize the size and error correction level.
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.
