Frequently asked questions
Can I automatically list all available games on the platform?
Yes! Use the list_games tool. It will retrieve metadata for all configured cloud games, including their names and unique identifiers.
How do I check the status of my cloud gaming workers?
Use the list_workers tool. It returns the availability and current operational state of all server instances allocated to your account.
Can I dynamically modify the concurrency limit for a game?
Yes! Use the modify_capacity_limit tool with the target Game ID and the new maximum concurrent user count to scale your capacity.
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.
