Frequently asked questions
Can I use this to find specific articles across all my subscriptions?
Yes! Use the list_stream_contents tool with the system stream ID user/-/state/com.google/reading-list. You can then ask the AI to filter or search for specific keywords within the returned articles.
Is it possible to star articles directly from the conversation?
Absolutely. Use the edit_tag tool and provide the Article ID with the add parameter set to user/-/state/com.google/starred. This will instantly save the article to your Starred folder in Inoreader.
How do I see how many unread articles I have in each folder?
Run the get_unread_counts tool. It returns a structured list of all your streams (feeds, folders, and tags) along with the precise count of unread items for each.
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.
