Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the AppID of a game using only its name?
Yes! Use the search_all_steam_apps tool. Your agent will scan the Steam database and return matching AppIDs, which are required for all other technical tools.
Is it possible to monitor the live player count for a new game like Deadlock?
Absolutely. The get_current_player_count tool provides real-time data from Steam servers, allowing you to quantify the hype and player base of any specific title at any moment.
How do I find a user's SteamID64 if I only have their profile URL?
Use the resolve_vanity_url tool with the custom part of the URL. The agent will return the unique 64-bit identifier required for all user-specific statistical queries.
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.
