Frequently asked questions
Can I get an instant trade-in offer for my current car?
Yes! Use the estimate_trade_in tool with your car's make, model, year, mileage, and condition. Kavak's AI valuation engine will return an instant buy-back offer based on current Mexican market conditions and comparable recent transactions.
What does the 240-point inspection cover?
Use get_vehicle_inspection to see the full 240-point report. It covers engine health, transmission status, brake system, tire condition, electrical systems, suspension, body/paint integrity, interior condition, and all safety features. Each point is rated as pass, warning, or replaced.
Can I calculate monthly payments for different financing scenarios?
Yes. Use get_financing_options with the vehicle ID and an optional down payment amount (enganche). It returns a matrix of monthly payment options across 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60-month terms, each with interest rates, total cost, and CAT (Costo Anual Total).
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.
