Frequently asked questions
How do I get an Evisort API Key?
Log in to your Evisort account, navigate to Settings > API, and you can generate or retrieve your unique REST API Key from there. Ensure your user profile has the 'Admin' or 'API Access' permission enabled.
Does the integration show specific clauses?
Yes, you can use the list_contract_provisions tool to retrieve AI-extracted snippets for common clauses like Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Termination for any document.
Can the agent upload new contracts?
This integration currently focuses on listing and auditing existing contracts and intelligence. Uploading new PDF or Word documents for AI processing should be managed via the Evisort web application or automated ingestion folders.
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.
