Can I see the list of open bugs for a specific project?

Yes. The `list_bugs` tool allows your AI agent to retrieve all defects and issues reported for a specific project ID, helping you monitor technical debt and priority fixes through chat.

How do I check the requirements in our backlog via conversation?

You can use the `list_user_stories` tool. Provide the unique project ID, and your agent will return a list of backlog items and requirements, ensuring you stay aligned with current development priorities.

Is it possible to see our release timeline and sprints?

Absolutely. Use the `list_sprints` tool to retrieve all iterations configured for a project. Your agent will return the sprint names and IDs, helping you monitor the release cycle and delivery status.

Yodiz + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Yodiz 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.
