Frequently asked questions
Can I see the profitability metrics for a specific project?
Yes! Use the get_profitability_report tool. Your agent will retrieve detailed financial data, including cost vs. revenue and margin analysis for your active projects.
How do I add a new timesheet entry for an employee?
Use the create_timesheet_entry action. Provide the Employee ID, Project ID, number of hours, and the date in YYYY-MM-DD format to log the work instantly.
Is it possible to list all team members via AI?
Absolutely. Use the list_employees query. The agent will retrieve the complete directory of collaborators and team members associated with your 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.
