Frequently asked questions
Can I trigger a pipeline run for a specific branch?
Yes! Use the trigger_codefresh_build tool. You can provide the pipeline ID and specify the branch name in the payload. The agent will instruct Codefresh to start the build immediately.
How do I see the status of all my Kubernetes clusters in Codefresh?
Use the list_delivery_clusters tool. Your agent will fetch all connected clusters, showing you which targets are available for deployment and their current health status.
Where do I find my Codefresh API Key?
Log in to Codefresh, click on your profile icon, go to User Settings, and select API Keys. You can generate and copy a new token from that 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.
