Frequently asked questions
Can I see who the most recent members to join are?
Yes! Use the list_community_members tool. The agent will return a list of members, and you can see their join dates and profile details directly.
How do I see the comments for a specific post?
Use the list_post_comments tool with the unique post ID. Your agent will fetch all comments, allowing you to review the discussion without leaving your chat.
Where do I find my Circle API Token?
Log in to your Circle community as an admin, go to Settings, and select API. You can generate and copy your token from that section.
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.
