Frequently asked questions
Can I see the subtasks for a specific task?
Yes! Use the get_task_details tool with the task ID. The agent will fetch the full task record, which includes all subtasks nested within it.
How do I find all the tasks in a specific list?
Use the list_list_tasks tool. Provide the list ID, and your agent will return all tasks in that list, including their current statuses and priorities.
Where do I find my ClickUp API Token?
Log in to ClickUp, go to your Personal Settings, select Apps, and generate a Personal API Token under the API 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.
