Frequently asked questions
Can the agent natively sequence multiple SERP SEO audits concurrently without degradation?
Yes. Commands natively hook into asynchronous API creations (like create_content_editor). Audits sequence seamlessly provided your API quota from Surfer supports the bulk volume.
What does the Content Score represent?
The Content Score is a 0–100 rating generated by Surfer's NLP engine. It measures how well your text covers the prominent terms, word count targets, and structural guidelines extracted from top-ranking pages for your target keyword.
Which Surfer SEO plan is required for API access?
API access is available on the Scale AI and Enterprise plans. You can generate your API key from the Surfer dashboard under your account settings once subscribed to an eligible plan.
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.
