Frequently asked questions
What are FIPS codes?
FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) codes are numbers used by the government to uniquely identify states, counties, and places. E.g., California is 06, Los Angeles County is 037.
Which census survey do you use?
We use the American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year estimates, which provide the most reliable, detailed, and broad demographic data annually.
Are undocumented immigrants counted?
Yes, the Census Bureau attempts to count all residents regardless of immigration status, though this group is historically harder to count accurately.
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.
