Frequently asked questions
How do I generate a Contentful Personal Access Token?
Log into your Contentful dashboard. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner and navigate to Account Settings. Locate Personal Access Tokens and click 'Generate Personal Token'. Copy the value provided.
Do I need the Space ID to use this integration?
Yes. Most actions the AI performs require your specific Space ID to target the correct content repository effectively.
Can the agent interact with unpublished draft entries directly?
Yes, Contentful's Content Management API (CMA) natively handles internal content regardless of publish state. You can command your AI to fetch, check, or structure a draft before hitting the publish flag explicitly.
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.
