Is the integration read-only?

Yes. All tools (list_companies, list_contacts, list_opportunities, etc.) are read-only queries. They cannot modify, create, or delete any CRM records.

What is the TACTILE_SUBDOMAIN?

It's the unique prefix of your Tactile CRM URL (e.g., if your URL is `acme.tactilecrm.com`, the subdomain is `acme`). You can find it in the address bar when logged in.

What data can the agent access?

Companies, contacts, opportunities with pipeline stages, notes, and activities. The scope is determined by the permissions of the API key you provide.

Tactile CRM + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Tactile CRM 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.
