Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Airship App Key and Master Secret?
Log in to the Airship dashboard, go to Settings > APIs & Integrations, and select Tokens. You will find your App Key and can generate/view your Master Secret there.
Which region should I choose?
Choose US if your project is hosted on go.urbanairship.com or EU if it is hosted on go.airship.eu. Using the wrong region will result in authentication failures.
Can I target specific users by their email?
Yes! Use the send_push_notification tool and specify the named_user in the audience. If your user's email is mapped as their Named User ID, Airship will deliver the push to all their associated devices.
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.
