About TAPD MCP Server

Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your agile development lifecycle with TAPD, the professional collaboration platform by Tencent. By connecting TAPD to your agent, you transform complex requirement tracking, bug management, and iteration planning into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly list your workspaces, create new stories, track defects, and even monitor sprint progress without you ever needing to navigate the complex TAPD enterprise interface. Whether you are following Scrum or Kanban, your agent acts as a real-time product assistant, keeping your development pipeline organized and your team aligned.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings TAPD data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

TAPD + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating TAPD 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.
