How does Motion's AI auto-scheduling work through the agent?

When you use the `create_task` tool, you specify a priority (ASAP to LOW). Your agent dispatches this to Motion, which immediately finds the best available blocks in your calendar, ensuring your high-priority items are scheduled first without manual intervention.

Can I move tasks between different workspaces through a conversation?

Yes. Use the `move_task` tool by providing the Task ID and the Destination Workspace ID. Your agent will update the task's logic container, allowing you to organize your schedule across personal and professional boundaries seamlessly.

How do I see my projected completion times for all tasks in a workspace?

The `get_schedule` tool retrieves the AI-optimized timeline for a specific Workspace ID. Your agent will report the projected time blocks for each task, showing you exactly how Motion's AI has resolved your daily priorities.

Motion (AI Calendar & Task Management) + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Motion (AI Calendar & Task Management) 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.
