Can I track AR lens performance?
Yes. Your AI agent can pull AR lens metrics including scans, shares, play time, and conversion events — helping you optimize sponsored lens campaigns.
What audience demographics can I target?
Snapchat Ads supports age, gender, location, language, device, OS, interests, behaviors, custom audiences, lookalikes, and Snap Lifestyle Categories — with a focus on 13-34 year olds who are 75% of the platform.
Can I manage multiple ad accounts?
Yes. Snapchat Ads supports organization-level and ad account-level access. Your AI agent can switch between accounts using their IDs.
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.
