Frequently asked questions
What is the DSCOVR satellite?
DSCOVR orbits at the L1 Lagrange point, 1.5 million km from Earth. Its EPIC camera takes full-disk images of Earth every 1-2 hours, always showing the sunlit face.
What is EONET?
EONET (Earth Observatory Natural Event Tracker) provides real-time data on active natural events. It tracks wildfires, severe storms, volcanoes, and more, updated daily from satellite sources.
Can I get historical data using the EPIC camera?
Yes, you can browse images by specific dates since the DSCOVR satellite began taking regular photos in 2015, allowing you to see Earth on a specific past day.
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.
