FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I add a vote to a post using the agent?

Yes! Use the vote_on_post tool with the Post ID and Voter ID. Your agent will add the vote in Canny, helping prioritize the feedback item.

How do I list all the planned features from a specific board?

Simply ask the agent to list_feedback_posts and provide the Board ID and set the status to planned. It will retrieve all matching posts from your Canny account.

Does the integration allow creating a new feedback post?

Yes. Use the create_feedback_post action and provide the Board ID, Author ID, title, and details. The new item will be added to your Canny board instantly.

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.
