Frequently asked questions
How do I get Marvel API keys?
Visit developer.marvel.com/account, sign in with a Marvel or social account, and you'll immediately see your Public and Private keys. Both are required for authentication.
Can I search for characters by name?
Yes! Use list_characters with name_starts_with to search. For example, 'Spider' returns Spider-Man (Peter Parker), Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Spider-Gwen and more. Each result includes the character ID for use with other tools.
Can I find comics for a specific character?
Yes! Use list_comics with character_id. First find the character ID with list_characters, then pass it to list_comics to get all their comic appearances with issue numbers, titles and cover dates.
How many results can I get at once?
The API supports up to 100 results per request. Use the limit parameter (1-100, default 20) and offset for pagination. The total count is returned in each response so you know how many pages exist.
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.
