Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key?
No! OpenDota provides free access with 60,000 requests/hour without any API key. An optional free API key is available from opendota.com for higher rate limits, but it's not required.
How do I find a player's account ID?
Use the search tool with the player's name (e.g. 'Arteezy', 'SumaiL', 'Topson'). The results include their Steam account ID which you can then use with player-specific tools. You can also find account IDs on sites like dotabuff.com or stratz.com.
What data is available for matches?
Match data includes: all 10 players' heroes, items, KDA, GPM, XPM, hero damage, tower damage, healing, lane positions, draft picks, chat logs, team objectives, ability builds and more. Professional matches have even more detailed data including observer ward placements and rune pickups.
How many heroes are in Dota 2?
Dota 2 currently has 124 heroes, each with unique abilities and roles. Use list_heroes to see the complete list with their IDs, names, primary attributes (Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Universal) and roles (carry, support, offlane, mid).
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.
