How do I get a DocSumo API Key?

Log in to your DocSumo account, navigate to the API section in your settings, and you can retrieve your unique API Key from there. API access is typically enabled for most plans.

What happens if extraction confidence is low?

DocSumo flags documents with low confidence for manual review. You can use the list_documents_awaiting_review tool to identify these documents directly via the agent.

Does the integration support custom document types?

Yes, as long as you have configured the document types in your DocSumo account, the agent can list them and retrieve extracted data for any of them.

DocSumo + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating DocSumo 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.
