Frequently asked questions
How do I get Degreed API credentials?
Log in to your Degreed admin account, navigate to the API settings section, and create a new application to retrieve your Client ID and Client Secret for OAuth 2.0 authentication.
Can the agent assign learning content?
This integration currently focuses on discovering content and monitoring progress. Assigning content to specific users is managed via the Degreed dashboard or mobile app.
Are skill ratings included?
Yes, when retrieving user profiles, the agent can provide information on skills associated with the user and their current proficiency levels where available.
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.
