Frequently asked questions
How do I enable Web Services in Moodle?
Go to Site Administration > Server > Web services > Overview. You'll need to enable Web Services, enable the REST protocol, create a specific user, and generate a token for them.
Can I see student grades for a course?
Yes! Use the get_course_grades tool with a course ID to retrieve the gradebook data for all students enrolled in that course.
How do I check if a student has completed a course?
The get_course_completion tool allows you to check the progress and completion status for a specific User ID in a target Course ID.
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.
