Can I see the column structure of a Monday board through my agent?

Yes. Use the `get_board` tool with a specific Board ID. Your agent will retrieve the detailed structural configuration, exposing the custom column types and titles used to organize your project data.

How do I list the tasks (items) within a specific board?

The `list_items` tool retrieves all discrete GraphQL nodes representing rows in a board. Your agent will return the task names and their associated column values, helping you audit project progress without opening the browser.

Can my agent navigate between different organizational workspaces?

Absolutely. Use the `list_workspaces` tool to identify the top-level directory structure of your Monday account. Your agent will report the workspace names and IDs, allowing you to locate boards grouped by department or team.

Monday.com (Work Management & CRM) + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Monday.com (Work Management & CRM) 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.
