FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I post a status with a content warning (spoiler text)?

Yes. When using the post_status tool, you can provide a spoiler_text string which will act as a content warning for your followers.

How do I verify if my access token is working correctly?

You can use the verify_credentials tool. It will test your current token and return your authenticated profile information if successful.

Is it possible to see what is currently trending on my instance?

Absolutely. Use the get_trending_tags tool to retrieve the most popular hashtags used on your instance recently.

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.
