FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

How do I find my ClockShark API Key?

Log in as an Admin, navigate to Admin > Integrations, click on Connect Zapier, and copy your unique API Key.

02

Can the agent schedule new work shifts?

Yes! The create_shift tool allows the agent to assign a specific employee to a job with start and end times programmatically.

03

How do I retrieve a list of all jobs?

Use the list_jobs tool to retrieve your complete directory of active and archived projects directly from the platform.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.

07

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.

08

MCP tools not available

Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
