What authentication does Loopio require and where do I get my token?

Loopio uses OAuth2 with Bearer token authentication. You need to generate an access token from your Loopio account under Settings -> API. The token provides secure, scoped access to your projects, libraries, and team data.

Can the AI agent search and retrieve approved answers from my Loopio library?

Yes. The search_library tool lets the agent query your master knowledge base using natural language. It searches across question text, answer text, and tags, returning the most relevant approved entries with their full content. This ensures your AI responses are always based on pre-approved, accurate information.

Can I create new RFP projects programmatically through the AI agent?

Absolutely. The create_submission tool allows the agent to spin up new Loopio projects with a name, description, company context, due date, and assigned owner. The project is created in 'Not Started' status and ready for immediate team collaboration and answer drafting.

How do I track the progress of active RFPs across my workspace?

Use list_projects to see all active initiatives with their current status, then drill into any project with get_project to check completion percentage, due dates, and ownership. You can also use list_questionnaires to see every individual question and which ones still need answers.

Loopio + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Loopio 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.
