Can my agent create events on my synced Google or Outlook calendars?

Yes. When you use the 'create_event' tool, the agent commands the Notion Calendar backend to generate the meeting overlay, which is then synchronized directly to your connected upstream provider logic.

How do I check if my team members are free for a meeting on a specific date?

Use the 'get_free_busy' tool. Provide a JSON array of email addresses and the target date. Your agent will analyze the cross-references and identify available hourly slots, predicting any potential collision limits.

Can I retrieve my scheduling links via chat to share with clients?

Absolutely. The 'get_scheduling_links' tool extracts the precise active booking forms tied directly to your Notion Calendar profile, allowing your agent to provide you with ready-to-share links instantly.

Notion Calendar (formerly Cron) + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Notion Calendar (formerly Cron) 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.
