Can my agent search for notes with specific tags in Evernote?

Yes. Use the 'search_notes' tool. You can use Evernote's query syntax like 'tag:work' or 'tag:ideas' to filter results. The agent executes the structural match and returns matching note metadata.

How do I create a new note in a specific notebook via chat?

Use the 'create_note' tool. Provide the 'notebook_id' (GUID), a title, and the content. The note will be created and synced across all your Evernote clients immediately.

Can I check my monthly upload quota through the agent?

Absolutely. Use the 'get_user' tool. Your agent will fetch authenticated profile information, including your current quota usage and service tier, to help you stay within system limits.

Evernote + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Evernote 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.
