Frequently asked questions
Can I determine if a name is male or female using this server?
Yes! Use the get_gender tool by providing a first and last name. The AI will return the likely gender along with a confidence score.
How do I split a full name string into first and last names?
You can use the parse_name tool. Just provide the full name string, and it will return the structured components.
Does this support US Census race and ethnicity categories?
Yes, the get_us_race_ethnicity tool classifies names into White, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander (API), and Hispanic categories based on US Census data.
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.
