FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

How do I find my DeckMatch API Key?

Log in to your DeckMatch or AlphaLens dashboard and navigate to the Settings or API section to generate your secret key.

02

What deck formats are supported for analysis?

You can provide URLs for PDF and PPTX files, as well as direct view links from platforms like DocSend.

03

How does semantic startup search work?

The search_startups_semantically tool uses the AlphaLens engine to match your natural language query against a massive database of startups and their strategic metadata.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.

07

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.

08

MCP tools not available

Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
