Frequently asked questions
Can I use this to audit recent administrative changes in my Bitwarden organization?
Yes! Use the list_events tool to retrieve the audit trail. It provides a detailed log of events, including who performed what action and when, helping you maintain security oversight.
How do I check which security policies are currently active?
Simply ask the agent to run the list_policies action. This will return all administrative and security policies configured for your organization, such as Master Password requirements or Two-step Login rules.
Is it possible to see all the shared collections we have set up?
Yes, the list_collections tool allows you to retrieve all collections available to the organization, helping you understand how shared secrets are categorized.
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.
