Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Docupilot API Key?
Log in to your Docupilot account, navigate to Settings > API Key, and you can generate or retrieve your unique API Key from there.
Can the agent show me the merge fields for a template?
Yes, you can use the get_template_merge_field_audit tool to retrieve exactly which data keys are needed to populate a specific template.
What formats does Docupilot support for output?
Docupilot supports generating documents in PDF, Microsoft Word (.docx), and other popular formats depending on your template type.
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.
