FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I check if any of my indexers are currently down?

You can use the get_indexer_status tool. It retrieves the current health status of all configured indexers, highlighting any errors or connection issues.

What is the best way to add a new indexer without knowing the JSON structure?

First, run get_indexer_schema to see the templates for supported indexers. Once you have the correct fields, you can use add_indexer with the required data.

Can I verify my settings before applying them to an indexer?

Yes! Use the test_indexer tool. It allows you to test the connection and configuration of an indexer before saving it, preventing broken setups.

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.
