Frequently asked questions
Can I reboot a bare metal server using this integration?
Yes! Use the reboot_bare_metal tool with the specific Instance ID. Your agent will send the reboot signal to the physical hardware immediately.
How do I see my account's BGP info?
Simply run the get_account_bgp action. It will return your Autonomous System Number (ASN), BGP status, and the password required for your configuration.
Can I manage my API keys through the AI agent?
Yes, you can use list_api_keys to view existing keys and create_api_key to generate new ones with specific names and expiration dates.
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.
