How do I generate an API Key inside ContentGroove?

Log into your active ContentGroove dashboard. Navigate to the **Settings** menu. From there, locate the section labeled **API Keys** and click 'Generate'. Securely copy the resulting string to connect your AI.

Does AI video processing incur additional costs on ContentGroove?

Every operation routed through the AI integration relies on your base ContentGroove tier limits. AI-invoked splicing acts as standard manual generation costs; ensure constraints are observed so you stay within your processing credits limit.

Can I publish video clips straight from the integration?

No, this integration strictly isolates the video editing capabilities and project listing utilities. To post on major platforms directly from chat, ensure you link subsequent social network MCP integrations into your workflow.

ContentGroove + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating ContentGroove 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.
