Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Culture Amp API Key?
Log in to Culture Amp as an administrator, navigate to Settings > Data Integrations, and you will find the API section to generate a new key.
Can I see individual survey responses?
To protect employee anonymity, the API generally provides aggregated survey data and participation status, rather than individual identifiable responses.
Does the integration support demographic segmentation?
Yes, you can use the list_demographic_fields tool to view how your data is segmented, allowing the agent to provide more targeted insights.
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.
