Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Local Falcon API Key?
Log in to your account, navigate to the API Credentials page, and copy your unique Bearer Token or API Key.
Can I run new scans via AI?
Yes! The run_localfalcon_scan tool allows your agent to trigger real-time geo-grid scans by providing business and keyword metadata.
How do I check my scan credit balance?
Use the check_localfalcon_status tool to retrieve your current account metrics and remaining high-fidelity scan credits programmatically.
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.
