FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I check if my video render is finished?

You can use the get_render_status tool by providing your unique Render ID. The agent will return the current status (e.g., 'completed') and the download URL if it's ready.

Can I start a new render using a JSON project definition?

Yes! Use the create_render action. You just need to provide the project object containing dimensions and layers. You can also specify a webhookUrl for automated notifications.

Is it possible to see a history of all my renders?

Absolutely. The list_renders tool fetches all renders associated with your authenticated account, allowing the AI to summarize or find specific past projects.

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.
