How do I find the Workspace ID for my Flow account?

You can use the 'list_workspaces' tool. The agent will retrieve all workspaces you have access to and return their names and unique IDs, which you can then use for other operations.

Can I mark a task as completed using the agent?

Yes! Use the 'update_task' tool, provide the Task ID, and set the 'status' parameter to 'completed'. The task will be immediately updated in Flow.

How do I see the discussion history for a task?

Use the 'list_task_comments' tool and provide the Task ID. The agent will retrieve all messages and replies associated with that task, allowing you to catch up on the discussion.

About Flow MCP Server

Connect your Flow account to any AI agent and automate your project management and team collaboration through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Flow (getflow.com) provides a clean and powerful platform for organizing work, tracking task progress, and facilitating team discussions. Now, you can manage your workspaces, projects, and individual tasks directly through natural conversation.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Flow data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 12 tools — Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

What you can do

Project Coordination — List all projects within your workspaces and retrieve detailed metadata, including ownership and due dates.
Task Management — Create, update, and list tasks across workspaces, projects, or specific task lists. Change statuses (incomplete/completed) instantly.
Organized Lists — Access and list task groups (Lists) within projects to maintain a clear hierarchy of work.
Team Interaction — List all workspace members and teams, and participate in task discussions by reading or adding comments.
Workspace Oversight — Get a high-level view of all the top-level workspaces you belong to.
Real-time Updates — Fetch specific task details or metadata to keep your team informed and your projects on track.

The Flow MCP Server exposes 12 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Flow + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Flow 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.
