Frequently asked questions
How do I get API access for BrioHR?
You must reach out to the BrioHR support team at support@briohr.com. They will provide your credentials and require your IP addresses for whitelisting before you can connect.
Can my AI automatically list all active job postings?
Yes! Use the list_job_postings tool. Your agent will retrieve all current vacancies from your BrioHR recruitment module, including titles and IDs.
How do I retrieve the payroll summary for a specific month?
Use the get_payroll_summary tool with the month (MM) and year (YYYY). The agent will return the headcount and total calculations for that period.
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.
