Frequently asked questions
Can I see how many users are currently logged in?
Yes! Use the list_active_sessions tool. The agent will return a list of all current sessions, allowing you to gauge real-time platform activity.
How do I check if a specific user belongs to an organization?
Use the list_clerk_organizations tool to find the organization and then review its members, or use get_user_auth_details to see the user's specific organization memberships.
Where do I find my Clerk Secret Key?
Log in to your Clerk Dashboard, select your application, and navigate to API Keys. You can find your Secret Key starting with sk_ there.
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.
