Frequently asked questions
What types of hotels use Mews?
Mews serves 5,000+ properties in 85+ countries — from boutique hotels and hostels to luxury resorts and hotel groups. It's a cloud-native PMS designed for modern hospitality.
Is the Mews API suitable for large hotel groups?
Yes, Mews provides a robust API that supports multi-property operations, making it ideal for hotel groups to manage central reservations, corporate billing, and group-wide reporting.
Can I check room housekeeping status in real-time?
Yes, you can query Mews to get the real-time status of any room, including whether it is clean, dirty, inspected, or out of order, which helps prioritize housekeeping efforts.
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.
