Frequently asked questions

Do I need Copilot for the MCP server?

The MCP server works with VS Code's Copilot Chat feature. Without Copilot, you can still use Indxel as a VS Code task that runs in the integrated terminal.

Can I run checks on save?

Yes. Configure a VS Code task with a file watcher to run npx indxel check automatically when you save page files. This gives instant feedback during development.
