Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Aha! API Key?
Log in to your Aha! account, click on your profile avatar, and select Personal settings. Go to the Developer tab and click API keys to generate or retrieve your key.
Can I update a feature status via the agent?
Yes! Use the update_feature tool and provide the Feature ID along with the new status (e.g., 'Shipped', 'In development'). Your agent will synchronize the change with your roadmap.
Does this support creating new ideas?
Yes, you can use the create_idea tool to capture feedback or suggestions. Provide a title and description, and it will be added to your ideation portal.
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.
