Frequently asked questions
Can I generate images from text?
Yes! Use the generate_image tool with Stable Diffusion models. Provide a descriptive prompt and optionally specify size (e.g., '1024x1024').
Can I ask questions about an image?
Yes! Use visual_question_answering with a public image URL and your question. The AI will analyze and respond with details about the image.
Does it work with scanned documents?
Yes! Use document_qa to extract information from scanned documents, forms, receipts, and other image-based documents.
What image sizes can I generate?
Stable Diffusion models support various sizes including 512x512, 768x768, and 1024x1024. Higher resolutions produce more detailed images but take longer to generate.
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.
