Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Weatherbit API key?
Sign up for free at weatherbit.io. Free tier includes 500 API calls/day.
Can I search by city name?
Yes! Use get_current_weather_by_city or get_forecast_daily_by_city with city name and optional country code (e.g. city='London', country='GB').
How far ahead can I forecast?
Daily forecast supports up to 16 days ahead. Hourly forecast supports up to 240 hours (10 days). Historical data goes back 30+ years.
Does it include air quality data?
Yes! Use get_air_quality with coordinates to get AQI, PM2.5, PM10, O3, NO2, SO2 and CO concentrations with health recommendations.
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.
