Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Asset Panda Client ID and Secret?
Log in to Asset Panda, go to Settings (cog icon) > API Configuration. Your Client ID and Client Secret will be displayed at the bottom of the page.
What is a 'Group ID' in Asset Panda?
Groups (or Entities) are the categories for your records (e.g., Assets, Employees). You can find a group's ID in its URL when editing it in Settings > Group Settings.
How do I provide data for creating or updating assets?
Use the jsonData parameter with a valid JSON string where keys are field IDs (e.g., {"field_123": "New Value"}). You can find field IDs by using the get_group tool.
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.
