How do I get my Framer API key?

Open your Framer project in the editor. Go to **Site Settings** (gear icon in the top bar), then navigate to the **General** tab. Scroll down to find the **Server API** section and click **Generate API key**. Copy the key and store it securely — treat it like a password. This key is specific to this project. Paste it into the configuration field below.

Can I push content from a spreadsheet into my Framer CMS?

Yes. Your AI agent can create and update CMS collection items programmatically. Describe the data you want to add, and it maps your fields to the Framer collection schema and creates the items — perfect for bulk content migrations or data-driven landing pages.

Does publishing through the API affect my Framer design?

No. The Server API only manages CMS content — it cannot modify your visual design, canvas layout, or component structure. Your designers remain in full control of the visual experience while content teams operate independently through the AI agent.

Is this suitable for agencies managing multiple Framer projects?

Yes. Each API key is bound to a specific Framer project. Configure separate integrations for each client project and your AI agent can switch between them — managing content across your entire portfolio without opening multiple browser tabs.

Framer + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Framer 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.
