Frequently asked questions
Can I publish an urgent announcement to a specific stream from the agent?
Yes! Use the create_post action with the target Stream ID and your announcement text. Your agent will post it to Beekeeper instantly.
How do I find an employee's contact details quickly?
Simply ask the agent to search_users with the person's name. It will return matching profiles including their user IDs and other public metadata.
Is it possible to send a direct message to a user via the agent?
Yes. Use the send_message tool with the Recipient User ID and your message text to facilitate direct communication through the 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.
