Frequently asked questions
How do I create a Pingdom API Token?
In your Pingdom dashboard (or SolarWinds portal), go to Settings > API Tokens. Click Add API Token, give it a name, and ensure it has the necessary access levels.
Can I see response times for different global regions?
Yes! The list_check_results tool returns data from multiple probe locations, allowing you to see how your site performs from different parts of the world.
Does this support pausing multiple checks at once?
The tools handle checks individually, but you can ask the AI agent to 'Pause all checks related to our API' and it will process them sequentially using their IDs.
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.
