Frequently asked questions
Can I book a table at a specific restaurant for tonight?
Yes! Use the check_availability tool to verify open time slots, then create_reservation to book directly. You can specify the date, time, party size, and any special requests.
What information do I get when searching for restaurants?
Search results include restaurant names, ratings, cuisine types, locations, and real-time availability. You can then drill into any listing for full menus, reviews, and booking options.
Can I cancel a reservation through the AI agent?
Yes. The cancel_reservation tool lets you cancel any existing booking by providing the reservation ID. Note that cancellation policies vary by restaurant.
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.
