Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Affinity API Key?
Log in to Affinity, go to Settings > API Keys. You can generate or copy your existing API key from there. Ensure you are on a supported plan (Scale or higher).
What is a Relationship Strength score?
It is a numeric value from 0 to 100 calculated by Affinity based on your team's communication history. A higher score indicates more frequent and recent interactions.
Can I retrieve meeting logs via the agent?
Yes! Use the list_interactions tool to see recent emails and meetings that have been automatically synced to your Affinity account.
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.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
