Can I see if a user has finished their background check?

Yes! Use the `get_screening_details` tool with the screening ID. The agent will return the current status and the final result of the check.

How do I find out who accessed a specific verification record?

Use the `list_cleared_audit_logs` tool. Your agent will fetch the account's security logs, allowing you to audit access to sensitive personal information.

Where do I find my Cleared API Key?

Log in to your Cleared (ClearedIn) Admin Portal and navigate to the **Integrations** section. You can generate and copy your API key from there.

Cleared (ClearedIn) + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Cleared (ClearedIn) 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.
