Can I retrieve stored passwords for a specific client?

Yes. Use `list_passwords` with an optional `company_id` to filter passwords by client. Then use `get_password` with a specific password ID to retrieve the full entry including the secret. Use `list_companies` to find the company ID first.

Does Hudu require a custom instance URL?

Yes. Hudu is self-hosted or uses dedicated instances, so you need to provide your **Instance URL** (e.g., `https://your-company.huducloud.com`) along with the **API Key**. The API Key is sent via the `x-api-key` header (not Bearer), and all API calls are routed to `{instanceUrl}/api/v1`.

Can I track all assets for a specific company?

Yes. Use `list_assets` with the `company_id` parameter to retrieve all assets (servers, workstations, network devices) for a specific client. Use `get_asset` for detailed specifications and tags. Use `create_asset` to add new assets with a name, company ID, and optional asset tag.

Hudu + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Hudu 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.
