Can I see my total hours for this week?

Yes! Use the `list_time_entries` tool. The agent will return your recent entries, and you can ask it to sum the hours for the current week.

How do I check which projects are currently active?

Use the `list_clicktime_projects` tool. Your agent will fetch all projects in the system, including their names and statuses.

Where do I find my ClickTime API Token?

You can obtain your token by making a Basic Auth request to the `GET /Me` endpoint using your email and password. Alternatively, check your ClickTime profile or contact your administrator.

ClickTime + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating ClickTime 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.
