How do I generate an API Access Token in ONES?

Log in to your ONES Management Console, navigate to [Settings] → [API Authentication], and click 'Create Token'. Make sure to copy it immediately as it will only be shown once.

Where can I find my Organization ID?

Your Organization ID (often a UUID) can be found in the URL of your ONES dashboard or in the [Organization Profile] section of the Management Console.

Can I update the status of a task through the agent?

Yes. Use the `update_task` tool and provide the task UUID and the new status UUID. You can find available status UUIDs by checking the project's workflow with `list_workflows`.

ONES + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating ONES 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.
