Frequently asked questions
Can I filter my search by labels or read status?
Yes. Use the search_articles tool with Omnivore's search syntax, such as label:AI or is:unread, to narrow down your results.
How do I get the actual text of a saved page for analysis?
Use the get_article tool by providing the article's unique slug and the owner's username. The agent will retrieve the full text content and metadata.
Is it possible to add new links to my library via the agent?
Yes, the save_url action allows you to send any web link directly to your Omnivore library for later reading.
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.
