Frequently asked questions
Can I create new cases and tasks directly through the AI agent?
Yes! The create_case action accepts a JSON payload with client, case type, and initial status. The create_task action creates tasks linked to specific cases with description, due date, and assignee. Use update_case to modify case status, notes, or attorney assignments as the case progresses.
Can I filter cases by their current status?
Yes. The list_cases_by_status tool accepts a status parameter — 'active', 'pending', 'closed', or 'archived'. This lets you quickly focus on active matters requiring attention, review pending cases awaiting decisions, or audit closed cases for reporting.
Can I access client documents and case files through the AI agent?
Yes. Use list_client_files with a Client ID to retrieve all documents uploaded for that client. Use list_case_files with a Case ID to see all documents associated with a specific case. Both tools return file names, upload dates, and file types for easy reference.
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.
