Frequently asked questions
Can I compare traffic between two domains?
Yes! You can call get_desktop_visits for each domain sequentially. Your AI agent can then summarize and compare the results for you.
What is the source of SimilarWeb's data?
SimilarWeb uses a variety of data sources, including first-party direct measurement, public data sources, and their own massive contributor panel.
Does this integration provide real-time hourly visits?
No. The standard API tools currently focus on providing reliable monthly visit totals and ranking data, ensuring statistically significant insights.
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.
