Frequently asked questions
How can my AI retrieve the list of guests who connected to the WiFi at a specific property?
Simply use the get_property_guests tool providing the specific property ID. Your agent will instantly compile a list of all guests captured via the captive portal, including their names, emails, and phone numbers.
Can I automatically check if all my routers are online across my portfolio?
Yes! Ask the agent to run the check_router_health action. It will scan all your StayFi routers in real-time and report back any offline devices, ensuring your guest networks are always functional.
Is it possible to track the total number of emails collected this month?
Absolutely. By utilizing the get_collection_stats tool, your agent can instantly fetch the email collection analytics across all properties, giving you an immediate view of your marketing data growth.
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.
