How do I query my indexed documents?

Simply ask the AI agent to search for a specific term or concept, and it will query the GroundX API to retrieve the most relevant textual chunks.

Can I manage data buckets from the agent?

Yes, you can list your active buckets, check their document count, and verify index status.

Does it support adding new files to a bucket?

Currently, the integration focuses on querying the optimized indexes. File ingestion should be managed through the GroundX dashboard or a separate pipeline.

GroundX + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating GroundX 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.
