Why do I get an error when providing my token?

Tettra's API keys are exclusively available to workspaces on their **Scaling** or **Professional** subscription tiers. If your team operates on a free or basic plan, the API credentials menu will not be accessible and requests will be blocked.

Can the AI rewrite existing company wiki articles?

Yes. Using the `update_wiki_page` function, the AI can overwrite existing body content and titles. It adopts your user profile's access permissions, meaning it can only update pages you personally have edit rights for in the Tettra UI.

Where do I track down my Tettra Team ID?

Your Team ID is the slug prefix used in your Tettra domain. For example, if you access your wiki primarily through `https://app.tettra.co/teams/acme-corp`, your Team ID is exactly `acme-corp`.

Tettra + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Tettra 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.
