How do I find my List ID?

Use the `list_workspaces` tool to see all your workspaces and the lists they contain along with their unique IDs.

Can I filter entries in a list?

The current `list_entries` tool retrieves all items. For complex filtering, you can provide field-specific values when using the create or update tools.

Is it possible to see the field definitions of a list?

Absolutely. Use the `list_elements` tool with a list ID to retrieve all field names, types, and configurations.

About Zenkit MCP Server

Connect your Zenkit account to any AI agent to streamline your productivity and project management. This MCP server enables your agent to interact with workspaces, lists (collections), and data entries directly from natural language.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Zenkit data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 8 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

What you can do

Workspace Oversight — List all workspaces and retrieve their constituent lists and metadata
List Management — Query detailed configurations and field elements for any Zenkit list
Data Operations — List, retrieve, create, and update entries (items) within your collections
Field Discovery — Inspect list elements to understand the data structure and field types
Content Cleanup — Delete entries and maintain your lists directly via natural language commands

Zenkit + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Zenkit 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.
