FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I get an EIA API Key?

You can register for a free API Key at the EIA Open Data portal. Once registered, the key will be sent to your email address.

Is the data real-time or historical?

EIA provides both current energy statistics (updated daily or weekly) and extensive historical time-series data dating back several decades.

Does the integration cover global energy data?

This integration focuses on official U.S. domestic energy statistics as reported by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Some international import/export data is included where relevant to the U.S. market.

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.
