Frequently asked questions
Can I search for 'Cyberpunk 2077' and see its platforms?
Yes! Use the search_video_games tool with the query 'Cyberpunk 2077'. The results will show you all platforms where the game is available, such as PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
How do I see the average community rating?
The ratings are included in the game metadata retrieved by the get_game_details or search_video_games tools. It shows the average score given by RAWG users.
Is it possible to list all games for a specific platform?
The current toolset focuses on searching and retrieving specific game details. To explore platforms, you can use the list_platforms tool to see all supported systems.
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.
