Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Organization ID in FirstQuadrant?
Log in to your FirstQuadrant dashboard and navigate to Settings > Developer Settings. Your unique Organization ID will be listed there.
Can the agent update custom properties?
Yes! Use the create_contact or enrich_contact_ai tools to manage standard and custom data points defined in your property schema.
How does AI enrichment work through the agent?
The enrich_contact_ai tool triggers FirstQuadrant's autonomous research engine to scan public sources and update the contact record with high-fidelity insights.
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.
