Frequently asked questions
Can I check how many credits I have left in Viesus?
Yes! Use the get_account_credit_balance tool. Your agent will retrieve the current number of processing credits available in your account.
How do I download the enhanced version of my image?
Once the job status is 'completed', use the get_enhanced_image_url tool with your Job ID to get the direct download link for the final photo.
What are the supported file formats for enhancement?
You can run the list_supported_file_formats query to see a complete and up-to-date list of all input and output formats supported by the Viesus API.
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.
