Frequently asked questions
Can I send a WhatsApp message to a customer who hasn't messaged me first?
Yes, but you must use an approved template message. The send_template_message tool allows you to initiate communication using these templates. If the user has messaged you in the last 24 hours, you can use send_session_message for free-text replies.
How do I see what templates are available to send?
Use the list_whatsapp_templates tool. It will return all your approved and pending message templates, allowing you to choose the right one for your communication needs.
Can I check the delivery status of my broadcast campaigns via chat?
Yes. The list_broadcast_campaigns tool provides a list of your previous and active WhatsApp broadcasts, including their delivery statistics, so you can track performance directly from your agent.
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.
