Frequently asked questions
How do I search for available hotels in a specific area?
Use the cp_search_properties tool by providing the latitude, longitude, and search radius. You can also include check-in and check-out dates to filter availability.
Can I hold a room before finalizing a booking?
Yes! The cp_lock_reservation tool creates a 10-minute hold on inventory for a specific property, allowing you to gather guest details before confirming.
How do I see all properties associated with my account?
You can use the db_list_properties tool to retrieve a full list of all properties in your group via the Direct Booking API.
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.
