Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Urlbox API Key?
Log in to your Urlbox dashboard, and you will find your API Key on the main page. Copy and paste it below.
Can the agent take screenshots for mobile devices?
Yes. Use the take_mobile_screenshot tool. Your agent will render the website using a mobile user agent to verify how it looks on smartphones.
Does it support high-resolution (Retina) images?
Yes. The take_retina_screenshot tool enables 2x scaling to provide high-density images suitable for high-resolution displays.
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.
