Frequently asked questions
How do I create a Mux API Token?
Go to the Mux Dashboard, navigate to Settings > API Tokens, and click 'Create new token'. Ensure you copy the Token Secret immediately as it will only be shown once.
What format should the asset URL be?
The URL must be publicly accessible and point directly to a video file (e.g., MP4, MOV). Mux will then fetch and process the file from that location.
Is the analytics data real-time?
Yes, the get_recent_views tool retrieves near real-time data about video views occurring in your account.
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.
