FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Pokémon Trainer Club account or API key?

No! PokéAPI is a completely free, open-source project. No authentication, no rate limits, no registration required.

Can I look up Pokémon by name or ID number?

Yes! Both work perfectly. Use get_pokemon with either the Pokédex number (e.g., "25") or the name (e.g., "pikachu").

Can I see a Pokémon's full evolution chain?

Yes! Use get_pokemon_species to get the species data which includes the evolution chain ID, then use get_evolution_chain to see the full family tree with all evolution conditions and requirements.

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.
