Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Last.fm API Key?
Go to the Last.fm API account page, create an API account, and you will find your API Key there. Copy and paste it into the field below.
Can the agent check my top artists for a specific period?
Yes. Use the get_top_artists tool providing your username and the desired period (e.g., 'overall', '7day', '1month'). Your agent will return your most-listened artists instantly.
Is it possible to retrieve metadata for a specific track via the agent?
Yes. The get_track_info tool allows your agent to fetch complete metadata for any song by providing the artist and track names, including album and listener counts.
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.
