Frequently asked questions
Can the AI generate content ideas by analyzing Google 'Related Questions'?
Yes. This is a very common SEO workflow. You can prompt the agent: 'Find the related questions for "how to bake sourdough" and write a blog outline covering them'. The agent uses google_related_questions to pull the PAA (People Also Ask) boxes directly from Google and drafts your content.
Is it possible to track market prices in Google Shopping?
Absolutely. You can run the google_shopping tool with a product query like 'iPhone 15 Pro 256GB'. Scale SERP will return the top structured shopping results, allowing the AI to summarize the lowest, highest, and median prices for you instantly.
How does the agent do location-aware searches?
When using google_organic or custom_search, you can specify a location (e.g., 'London, UK' or a specific GL country code). Scale SERP ensures the query is routed exactly as if you were physically browsing from that region, avoiding default IP bias.
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.
