Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Podchaser API Key?
Log in to your Podchaser developer portal, create an application, and you will find your API Token in your dashboard. Copy and paste it below.
Can I search for podcasts by host?
Yes. The search tools allow you to use host names as keywords to retrieve podcasts and creators from the Podchaser database.
Does it support episode descriptions?
Yes. The get_podcast_details and list_podcast_episodes tools retrieve detailed descriptions and show notes for podcasts and episodes.
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.
