Frequently asked questions
Can I stop a running timer through the agent?
Yes! Use the stop_current_timer tool. Provide your workspace and user ID, and the agent will instruct Clockify to stop the active timer immediately.
How do I see the projects for a specific workspace?
Use the list_workspace_projects tool with the workspace ID. Your agent will fetch all projects, allowing you to see which ones are billable and their associated clients.
Where do I find my Clockify API Key?
Log in to Clockify, go to Settings, and select My Profile. Scroll to the bottom to find and generate your API Key.
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.
