Can I check the scope of a security program using the agent?

Yes! Use the `get_program` tool with the Program ID. Your agent will fetch the detailed metadata, including targets and scope descriptions, from Bugcrowd.

How do I list all the vulnerability submissions for my account?

Simply ask the agent to `list_submissions`. It will retrieve the latest vulnerability reports from your Bugcrowd account, including titles and statuses like 'triaged' or 'resolved'.

Does the integration allow creating a new submission?

Yes. Use the `create_submission` action and provide the title and description. You can also associate it with a specific program by providing the `program_id`.

Bugcrowd + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Bugcrowd 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.
