Frequently asked questions
Does my AI agent need a preexisting Gmail or Outlook account to use this?
No. AgentMail is entirely standalone. You can use your agent to programmatically provision brand new, unique email addresses in seconds, completely independent of legacy email providers.
Can my agent download files that users send to its email address?
Yes. When scanning threads in the inbox, your agent will detect any attached files. It can then use the dedicated attachments tool to retrieve and analyze the contents of the file before drafting a reply.
Is it possible to manage multiple outreach campaigns at the same time?
Absolutely. Your agent can create and manage multiple inboxes simultaneously. It can list all active boxes, read unread threads for each, and contextualize its replies based on the specific campaign inbox.
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.
