Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent show me live football scores while I work?
Yes! Simply ask your agent to run the get_live_football tool and it will instantly retrieve all ongoing matches with real-time scores, minute markers, and status updates. You can also use get_live_basketball or get_live_hockey for other sports.
How do I find the Premier League standings for the current season?
Navigate the hierarchy: first use list_countries with sport 'football', then get_country_competitions for 'england', then get_competition_seasons for 'premier-league', and finally get_standings with the season slug. Your agent can chain these steps automatically from a simple question like 'Show me the Premier League table'.
Can the integration modify any data on SportDB, or is it strictly read-only?
All 18 tools are strictly read-only query operations. The integration cannot create, update, or delete any data on SportDB. Your API key is used solely for authenticated reads, ensuring your account remains safe from any destructive operations.
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.
