Frequently asked questions
Can I search for a contact by phone number?
Yes! Use search_contacts with the phone number to find matching contacts in your Chiirp database.
How do I add a tag to trigger an automation?
Use apply_tag with the contact's phone number and the tag ID. If the tag is linked to an automation sequence in Chiirp, it will trigger automatically.
Can I view my active campaigns?
Yes! Use list_campaigns to see all SMS and drip campaigns, or list_sequences to view automation workflows with their statuses.
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.
