Frequently asked questions
Can this MCP server book rides automatically?
This MCP server provides price estimates, time estimates, product availability, and trip history. Direct ride booking requires additional Uber API permissions (Requests API) available only to approved enterprise partners. Use this server for planning and comparison workflows.
What Uber API permissions do I need?
You need a Server Token from the Uber Developer Portal with access to: Products, Price Estimates, Time Estimates, History, User Profile, and Places endpoints. These are available in the standard developer tier without special approval.
Does this work with Uber Eats deliveries?
This MCP server focuses on Uber ride-sharing products (UberX, Black, Comfort, etc.). For Uber Eats merchant/delivery operations, a separate integration would be needed. Contact Uber for Eats API access.
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.
