Frequently asked questions
Can I find RSS feeds from a website URL automatically?
Yes! Use the discover_subscriptions tool with any website URL. The agent will scan the site and return all available RSS/Atom feed links found.
How do I mark all articles in a specific feed as read?
Simply use the mark_feed_as_read action providing the feed_id. This will instantly update the status of all entries within that feed to 'read'.
Can I search for specific keywords across all my articles?
Yes. Use the list_entries tool and provide a keyword in the search parameter. You can also filter by status (read/unread) or starred items.
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.
