Frequently asked questions
Can I check how many people finished watching a specific video?
Yes. The get_engagement_statistics tool provides the average percent watched and other deep engagement metrics for any video, allowing you to analyze audience retention through chat.
How do I upload a video to Wistia if I only have a direct URL?
You can use the upload_video_via_url tool. Simply provide the source URL and the target project ID, and Wistia will handle the ingestion and hosting of that video for you.
Is it possible to see the direct download link for my video files?
Absolutely. Using the get_media_details tool, your agent can retrieve full technical properties, including the direct URLs for original files and transcoded versions hosted on Wistia's CDN.
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.
