Frequently asked questions
Can I see the quality grade for a specific repository?
Yes! Use the get_repository_quality_analysis tool. Provide the provider (e.g., gh), organization, and repository name. The agent will return the current letter grade (A-F) and core quality metrics.
How do I search for security-related issues in my code?
Use the search_repository_issues tool. You can filter the payload to include categories: ['Security']. Your agent will fetch all security vulnerabilities identified by Codacy in that repository.
Where do I find my Codacy API Token?
Log in to Codacy, click on your avatar in the top right, go to User Settings, and select the API tab. You can generate and copy your account token from 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.
