Frequently asked questions
Can I create a new article draft using my agent?
Yes. Use the create_cms_article tool by providing a title, alias, category ID, and the HTML content. Your agent will generate the article in Joomla, allowing you to publish content without opening the admin panel.
How do I find the correct Category ID for a new article?
Ask your agent to list_global_categories. It will return a list of all available categories on your Joomla site along with their unique numerical IDs, making it easy to map your new content accurately.
Can my agent check the site's menu structure?
Absolutely. Use the list_site_menus tool to retrieve all configured menus and menu items. This is useful for auditing navigation links and ensuring your site layout is consistent with your content hierarchy.
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.
