Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Bland AI API Key?
Log in to your account, navigate to Settings > API Keys, and generate a new key for your integration.
Can I use specific AI voices via agent?
Yes! The send_phone_call and create_voice_agent tools allow you to specify voice IDs (e.g., 'maya', 'mason') programmatically.
How do I retrieve call transcripts?
Use the get_call_details tool with a specific call ID to retrieve the high-fidelity transcript and recording link directly from the platform.
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.
