Frequently asked questions
Can I check the references for a specific applicant?
Yes! Use the list_references tool with the Applicant's GUID. Your agent will fetch the list of names, companies, and contact details for the references provided by the candidate.
How do I list all the active job postings?
Simply ask the agent to list_jobs. It will retrieve the current job openings from your BrightMove ATS account, including titles and status information.
Does the integration allow creating a new candidate profile?
The current toolset is focused on querying and monitoring (Read-Only) to ensure data integrity. Creating or updating applicant records should be done through the BrightMove web interface or your careers page.
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.
