FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I check if a specific user is currently online in a channel?

You can use the presence_here_now tool to see a list of all active UUIDs in a specific channel, or presence_where_now to find all channels a specific UUID is currently subscribed to.

Can the AI retrieve past messages from a channel?

Yes, the get_message_history tool allows the agent to fetch historical messages from one or more channels, including metadata and specific time ranges.

Is it possible to manage user profiles and metadata through this server?

Absolutely. You can use set_user to create or update profiles and get_user to retrieve them. You can also manage channel metadata using set_channel and get_channel.

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.
