Can my AI agent show me the burndown chart data for the current sprint?

Yes! Use `sprint_reports` with the resource set to 'burndown'. Your agent returns the ideal versus actual burn-down data points, so you can visualize or analyze sprint health instantly. You can also request 'burnup', 'performance', or 'member_distribution' reports.

Can I see what tasks are in a specific sprint?

Absolutely. Use `list_tasks` with the `sprint_slug` filter to see only tasks belonging to that sprint. You can further filter by status (todo, in-progress, done) to focus on what matters. Then use `get_task` to drill into any specific task for full details.

Does this integration support sprint velocity and metrics tracking?

Yes. Use `sprint_metrics` for detailed velocity, throughput, and efficiency data. Combined with `sprint_kpis` for high-level indicators and `sprint_stats` for task distribution analysis, you get a complete performance picture across any sprint.

GitScrum Sprints + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating GitScrum Sprints 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.
