FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I create a public share link for a specific folder?

Use the create_share tool. Provide the path to your folder and set shareType to 3 (Public Link). You can also optionally set a password for added security.

Can I change my online status message using the AI?

Yes! You can use set_user_status to change your availability (e.g., 'dnd', 'away') and set_user_status_message to set a custom text and emoji icon.

Is it possible to see which apps are enabled on my Nextcloud server?

Absolutely. Use the get_capabilities tool to retrieve a full list of server features, version information, and all currently enabled applications.

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.
