FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I authorize my current IP address to use proxies via chat?

Yes. The authorize_new_ip tool allows you to immediately whitelist a new IPv4 address in your Webshare account, so you can start using your proxies from that machine without a password.

How do I replace a proxy that has been blocked by a target website?

Use the request_proxy_replacement tool and provide the unique proxy_id. Your agent will instruct Webshare to cycle that specific IP for a new one, subject to your account's replacement quota.

Can I check how much bandwidth I have left this month?

Absolutely. The get_account_profile tool provides real-time info on your plan limits and remaining bandwidth quota, so you can monitor consumption and avoid interruptions.

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.
