Are organizational channels safely isolated when using programmatic executions?

Yes. The AI intrinsically utilizes `list_channels` and `list_contexts` effectively to accurately parse pre-existing frameworks before assignment seamlessly.

Can the agent inadvertently destroy historical tracking via deletion?

The tool bounds the logic reliably using isolated mutation calls like `delete_task`. These are triggered explicitly, protecting chronological historical records systematically effectively internally.

Does the integration sync with external calendars like Google Calendar?

The MCP operates through the Sunsama API, which already consolidates events from Google Calendar, Outlook, and other connected services. Tasks you create or update via the AI will appear alongside your synced calendar events.

Sunsama + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Sunsama 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.
