Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Steam Web API Key?
Visit Steam Web API Key page while logged into your Steam account, agree to the terms, and you'll receive a unique key.
Can I check someone's game achievements?
Yes! Use get_player_achievements with the user's Steam ID and the game's App ID. The user's profile and achievements must be public.
Is playtime data available for all games?
Yes. The get_owned_games endpoint returns playtime_forever in minutes for each game. Recent playtime (2 weeks) is available via get_recently_played_games.
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.
