FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I list all my active legal matters using my AI agent?

Yes! Use the list_matters tool to retrieve a comprehensive list of all legal matters registered in your Actionstep system.

How do I check details for a specific matter?

Simply provide the Matter ID to the get_matter_details tool. Your agent will fetch the full metadata, status, and assigned team.

Does it support OAuth 2.0 authentication?

Yes, it uses OAuth 2.0. You'll need to generate a Client ID and Client Secret in your developer portal to create an access token.

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.
