Frequently asked questions
How do I find a company's official website if I only have their name?
Use the company_website_lookup tool. It resolves a company name to its canonical URL, which is the primary identifier needed for most other company-related tools.
Can I see who invested in a specific startup?
Yes. The get_company_funding tool provides a detailed history of funding rounds, including the amounts raised and the names of participating investors.
Is it possible to get professional details from just a work email?
Absolutely. Use the get_employee_profile tool with the work_email parameter to retrieve enriched professional data, including current role and employer information.
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.
