Frequently asked questions
Can I search for local businesses in a specific city through the agent?
Yes. The search_google_maps tool allows your AI agent to retrieve local business listings, including their ratings, physical addresses, and contact info, helping you perform local market research through chat.
How do I get product prices from Google Shopping via conversation?
You can use the search_google_shopping tool. Simply provide the product name, and Zenserp will return a structured list of vendor prices and availability to help you audit the e-commerce landscape.
Is it possible to search on Bing or DuckDuckGo using this server?
Absolutely. This server includes specialized tools like search_bing_organic and search_duckduckgo_organic, allowing your agent to retrieve results from multiple search engines for broader data coverage.
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.
