Frequently asked questions
Can I send a WhatsApp message using a pre-approved template?
Yes! Use the send_template_message tool. You'll need to provide the WhatsApp number, template name, and any dynamic parameters required by the template.
How do I find a specific contact in my Wati account?
Use the get_contacts tool. You can filter by name, creation date, or specific attributes to locate the exact contact you need.
Is it possible to hand over a bot conversation to a human agent?
Absolutely. Use the assign_operator tool with the contact's WhatsApp number and the email of the operator you wish to assign the chat to.
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.
