How do I get my Assembled API Key?

Log in to your Assembled account, go to **Settings > API Keys**, and you can generate a new API key there.

Can I see who is currently on break?

Yes, use the `list_agent_states` tool to see the real-time status of all your agents, including those on breaks or in specific states.

How far in advance can I see schedules?

You can retrieve schedules for any time range by providing the `startTime` and `endTime` parameters to the `list_schedules` tool, as long as they are published in Assembled.

Assembled + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Assembled MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

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.
