Frequently asked questions
Can LlamaParse handle complex tables and layouts in my PDFs?
Absolutely. LlamaParse uses AI-driven parsing to turn complex PDF layouts, nested tables, and even handwriting into structured Markdown. Use the create_parsing_upload tool to start the process and retrieve high-quality context for your agent.
How do I check if my RAG data pipeline is finished processing?
Use the get_parsing_result tool with your specific Job ID. Your agent will poll the LlamaCloud API and report the current status. Once finished, it will retrieve the final parsed content ready for grounding.
Can I see all data sources connected to a specific pipeline?
Yes. The get_pipeline tool extracts the full configuration for any pipeline ID, identifying all connected data sources and configured index settings, ensuring you have a complete view of your ingestion flow.
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.
