Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Authing User Pool ID and Access Key?
Log in to your Authing console, select your project or user pool, and you will find your User Pool ID in the basic info section. Generate your Access Key ID and Secret in the [Settings] → [Access Key] section.
Can I retrieve security audit logs through this server?
Yes. Use the get_audit_logs tool to retrieve a list of recent administrative and user actions, helping you maintain a clear trail for security compliance.
Is it possible to list organizations and their structures?
Yes! Use the list_organizations tool to retrieve all organizational units defined in your user pool, allowing your agent to understand your company's hierarchy.
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.
