Frequently asked questions
How do I find my AI Receptionist API Key?
Log in to your account, navigate to Developer Settings > API, and generate or copy your unique API Key.
Can I read call transcripts via AI?
Yes! The get_aireceptionist_conversation tool allows your agent to retrieve complete high-fidelity transcripts of any AI interaction programmatically.
How do I check lead analytics?
Use the get_aireceptionist_analytics tool to retrieve a high-fidelity summary of lead capture metrics and performance data directly through your agent.
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.
