FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I extract data from a website without a pre-configured extractor?

Yes. Use the run_magic_api tool. It uses Import.io's AI logic to automatically detect and extract structured or tabular data from any URL, making it ideal for quick exploration of new data sources.

How do I monitor the progress of a bulk crawl job?

Use the get_crawl_status tool by providing the Crawl ID returned when you started the job. Your agent will report the current state, number of pages processed, and success rate in real-time.

Can I get my extracted data in CSV format for spreadsheet analysis?

Absolutely. Use the download_csv tool with a completed Run ID. Your agent will retrieve the extraction data in CSV format, perfect for processing in tools like Excel or Google Sheets.

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.
