How do I securely obtain my API Key?

Installation in Pumble is unique. In your workspace, click **+ Add apps** in the left sidebar, find the **API** addon, and install it. After doing so, go to any chat input box in Pumble and type `/api-keys generate`. A private, ephemeral message will appear containing your secret token. Paste that token here.

Can my AI automatically reply to unread issues?

Yes. You can instruct your agent to regularly fetch messages from a specific channel (`chat_history_messages`). The agent can evaluate questions, generate answers based on your knowledge base, and then use `chat_post_message` to post the solution back to the team instantly.

Is it possible for the AI to react with emojis?

Absolutely. It uses the `chat_add_reaction` functionality. A common use case is having the agent process a batch of tickets reported in Pumble, and instruct it to leave a '✅' checkmark reaction on the original message to signify that work is complete.

What happens if a bot message has a typo?

Unlike standard webhooks, this integration provides full bidirectional control. If your AI posted something incorrect, simply ask it to update its previous message. It will fetch its message ID and push a new payload using the `chat_update_message` tool instantly without leaving double messages.

Pumble + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Pumble 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.
