Your agent can instantly retrieve real-time weather data, lookup IP geographical information, provide daily jokes and inspirational quotes, translate text between languages, and even audit stock market performance and currency rates without you ever needing to write a single line of integration code. Whether you are automating content research, monitoring financial indicators, or stays updated with historical events, your agent acts as a real-time information assistant, providing accurate and reliable data from a massive library of utility services.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my ShowAPI App ID and Secret?
Log in to the ShowAPI website, go to your Personal Center -> [Secret Management], and you will find your showapi_appid and showapi_sign there.
Does this support all 1000+ APIs from ShowAPI?
This server provides 10 essential tools covering the most popular categories like weather, finance, and translation. For other specific APIs, you can extend the engine or use the marketplace directly.
Are there usage limits for these tools?
The usage limits and quotas depend on your ShowAPI subscription plan. Ensure your account has sufficient balance or points for the API points you are calling.
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.
