Frequently asked questions
Can I see how many visitors my site had last week?
Yes! Use the get_stats tool with your domain and set the start parameter to 'today-7d'. Your agent will return aggregated visitors and pageviews for that period.
Is it possible to export raw data for custom analysis?
Absolutely. The export_datapoints tool allows you to retrieve raw, non-sampled data points in JSON or CSV format, provided you have your User-Id configured.
Can I track events that happen on my server, like a successful payment?
Yes, use the send_server_event tool. You can specify the event name, hostname, and even include custom metadata to track backend conversions without any client-side scripts.
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.
