Frequently asked questions
How do I create a new post as a draft?
Use the create_new_post action. Provide the title and content, and set the optional status parameter to draft. The post will appear in your WP Admin for final review.
Can I see a list of all static pages like 'About Us'?
Yes! Use the list_static_pages query. Your agent will retrieve all static pages from your WordPress site, including their IDs and current status.
Is it possible to delete a post via the AI?
Absolutely. Use the delete_post tool and provide the unique ID of the post you want to remove. The content will be permanently deleted from your site.
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.
