Frequently asked questions
Can my agent list all leave requests for the current year in Factorial?
Yes. Use the 'list_leaves' tool. You can specify the 'year' parameter, and the agent will fetch all absence and holiday requests, allowing you to track team availability flawlessly.
How do I check the shift schedule for a specific month via chat?
Use the 'list_shifts' tool. Provide the 'year' and 'month' (numeric). The agent will retrieve the detailed scheduling information, providing you with a clear view of operational coverage.
Can I audit payslip availability through the agent?
Absolutely. Use the 'list_payslips' tool for a target year and month. Your agent will verify which employees have available compensation records without you needing to manually navigate the payroll section.
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.
