FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Impala?

Impala is a unified hotel data platform — the 'Stripe for hotels.' One API to search, compare, and book hotels worldwide.

Does Impala provide real-time availability and pricing?

Yes, Impala connects directly to property management systems (PMS) to provide real-time room availability, up-to-date dynamic pricing, and exact cancellation policies.

Is test data available for developers without making real bookings?

Yes, Impala provides a Sandbox environment with realistic test data, allowing developers to safely test search, availability updates, and simulated booking flows.

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.
