FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I check if a specific chatbot is online via AI?

Yes! Use the get_bot_status tool and provide the Bot ID. Your agent will retrieve the current operational state of that specific bot.

How do I submit data to my bot's contact form using the agent?

Use the submit_contact action. Provide the contact details (name, email, message) in a JSON string. The agent will transmit this data directly to the bot engine.

Is it possible to see which fields my bot expects in its form?

Absolutely. Use the get_samples query. The agent will retrieve sample data based on your bot's configured form fields, helping you understand the required structure.

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.
