Can my AI agent list all workspaces and drill into specific project details?

Absolutely. Use `list_workspaces` to browse all your organizational workspaces, then `list_projects` to see every project within a workspace. Your agent returns full metadata including member counts, settings, and creation dates — all without leaving your conversation.

I need to set up a new project with custom workflows and labels — can I do it all conversationally?

Yes. Tell your agent to create the project, then ask it to configure the workflow columns and create color-coded labels. The agent chains `create_project`, `list_workflows`, and `create_label` tools automatically to set up your board exactly as you describe it.

Does this integration let me modify or delete projects?

This core integration focuses on workspace exploration, project creation, and configuration management — including workflows and labels. For task-level operations like CRUD, subtasks, and checklists, use the dedicated GitScrum Tasks integration. All actions respect your GitScrum account permissions.

GitScrum + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating GitScrum 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.
