Can I see how productive my team's code review process is over the last month?

Yes! Use the `get_metrics` tool with a date range (e.g., 2026-03-01 to 2026-03-31). It returns complexity scores, average review times, and comment breakdowns categorized by severity for all merged PRs.

How do I enable AI code reviews for new team members?

First run `list_users` with `seat_filter=unassigned` to find members without seats. Then use `assign_seats` with their user IDs to grant them AI-powered code review access instantly.

Can I audit who made administrative changes in the organization?

Absolutely. The `get_audit_logs` tool returns a complete, tamper-resistant trail of all admin actions including seat assignments, role changes, configuration updates, and API key operations. You can filter by action type and date range.

CodeRabbit + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating CodeRabbit 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.
