Can I check the status of a specific presentation using the agent?

Yes! Use the `list_presentations` tool. Your agent will fetch all sessions, allowing you to see if a presentation is 'Approved', 'Pending', or in another state in the Harvester.

How do I list all the speakers for my conference?

Simply ask the agent to `list_presenters`. It will retrieve the list of all speakers registered for your event in Cadmium, including their names and unique IDs.

Does the integration allow accessing presentation handouts?

Yes. Use the `list_presentation_assets` tool with the Presentation ID. It will retrieve all the associated files, including handouts, slides, and other media uploaded by the speaker.

Cadmium Harvester + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Cadmium Harvester 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.
