Frequently asked questions
Can I remotely open a barrier for a customer?
Yes! Use the control_gate action with the gate_id and action 'open'. This is essential for remote assistance when ticket machines fail.
How do I check the current occupancy of a site?
Use get_site_status with the site_id. It returns the number of available spaces versus total capacity and today's revenue.
Can I update hourly rates on the fly?
Yes! Use update_tariff with the tariff_id and the new rate_per_hour. Changes are usually applied immediately to the ticket dispensers.
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.
