Frequently asked questions
How do I generate an API Key in Copilot?
Log in to your Copilot (Assembly) dashboard. Go to Settings > API and click 'Generate API Key'. Copy the key and paste it below.
Can the agent see my internal portal messages?
Yes, if granted access via the API Key, the agent can list and retrieve messages sent through the client portal to help you keep track of communications.
Is the billing data secure?
Absolutely. This integration uses standard API protocols and does not store your payment information. It only retrieves statuses and metadata provided by the Copilot API.
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.
