Frequently asked questions
How can I see the latest products launched today?
Use the get_posts tool. You can specify the number of posts to retrieve (default is 5) to get a quick overview of the trending products currently on the front page.
Can I perform advanced searches or filter by specific criteria?
Yes. Use the execute_graphql tool to send custom queries. This allows you to leverage the full power of the Product Hunt API 2.0 schema for any specific data needs.
How do I verify if my API key is working correctly?
Run the get_viewer tool. It will attempt to fetch the username of the authenticated account, confirming your connection is active and authorized.
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.
