Frequently asked questions
Can I move or copy files between different folders using the AI?
Yes. You can use the move_file and copy_file tools. Just provide the source path and the destination path, and the agent will handle the transfer within your Files.com site.
Is it possible to manage user permissions for specific folders?
Absolutely. You can use list_permissions to audit current access and create_permission to grant new access levels to specific users or groups for any folder path.
Can I see a list of all active automations on my site?
Yes, the list_automations tool allows your agent to retrieve all configured automations, helping you monitor scheduled tasks and sync processes.
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.
