How do I find my HackEDU API Key?

Log in to your HackEDU Admin Dashboard and navigate to the API section. You will be able to generate and copy your unique X-API-Key from there.

Can I track the training progress of a specific team?

Yes! Use the `get_team_progress` tool by providing the unique team ID. The agent will return the completion percentage and status for that team.

What is 'Adaptive Training' in this integration?

Adaptive Training allows you to push real-world vulnerability findings (via `create_issue`) to HackEDU. The platform then automatically assigns relevant security lessons to developers to help them fix and prevent similar issues.

Is HackEDU now part of Security Journey?

Yes, HackEDU was acquired by Security Journey. This integration works with accounts from both brands using the same API infrastructure.

HackEDU (Security Journey) + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating HackEDU (Security Journey) 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.
