Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Crowdin Personal Access Token?
Log in to your Crowdin account, navigate to Account Settings > API, and you will find the Personal Access Tokens section to generate a new token.
Can the agent upload new files for translation?
This integration currently focuses on listing and retrieving project and file data. File uploads should be handled through the Crowdin dashboard or CI/CD integrations.
Does Crowdin support custom glossaries?
Yes, you can use the list_glossaries tool to view all glossaries available in your account, ensuring consistent terminology across your projects.
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.
