Where do I obtain my Reclaim API Key?

Log into your Reclaim.ai web application. Head towards 'Settings', select 'Integrations' from the sidebar, and look for 'API' at the bottom of the connected apps. Generate your personal token there and provide it using the setup authorization parameter below.

Does creating a task automatically schedule it on my calendar?

Yes. When the AI uses the `create_task` tool, Reclaim.ai takes your input duration, designated priority (P1 to P4), and due date to contextually slot it securely into an available window on your connected Google or Outlook calendar without extra prompts.

Can I query what was already booked in the past by AI vs manually added?

Yes. The `list_calendar_events` query imports event types accurately across any given time period, allowing the AI to effectively understand both the manual meetings you accepted and the tasks Reclaim auto-negotiated on your schedule.

Reclaim.ai + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Reclaim.ai 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.
