Frequently asked questions
How can I check how many credits I have left for image generation?
You can use the get_user_balance tool. The agent will query the Stability AI API and return your current credit balance immediately.
Can I improve the quality of a low-resolution image?
Yes! Use the upscale_image tool. Provide the base64 encoded image and specify an upscaling engine like esrgan-v1-x2plus to increase resolution and detail.
How do I know which models (engines) are available for me to use?
Simply run the list_engines tool. It will retrieve a complete list of all active Stability AI engines, including Stable Diffusion XL and specialized editing models.
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.
