Frequently asked questions
Can I create a bot to send automated messages in a channel?
Yes! You can use the create_bot tool to register a new bot and then use send_bot_message to trigger automated interactions within your chat channels.
How do I handle disruptive users who violate community rules?
The server provides several moderation tools: mute_user to silence them, block_user to prevent interaction, and ban_user to remove them from channels entirely.
Is it possible to manage large-scale public chat rooms?
Absolutely. Use create_open_channel to build public channels that support millions of users, and list_open_channels to keep track of your active public environments.
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.
