Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Confido Legal API credentials?
Log in to the Confido Legal (Gravity Legal) portal, navigate to your Account Settings, and you will find your API Key and Base URL.
What is a split payment in Confido?
It allows you to specify distinct amounts for your 'Trust' and 'Operating' accounts in a single payment link to maintain compliance.
Is it compliant with IOLTA rules?
Yes, Confido Legal is designed to ensure processing fees are never deducted from trust accounts, maintaining strict regulatory compliance.
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.
