Frequently asked questions
How do I check if a team member is available for a specific date range?
You can use the 'list_allocations' tool to see current schedules. By asking the agent, 'Is John available next week?', it will scan existing task allocations and time off to provide a clear answer.
Can I assign a person to a project directly through the agent?
Yes! The 'create_allocation' tool allows you to schedule a person to a project by providing their ID, the project ID, start/end dates, and the number of hours per day.
How do I see who is currently on vacation?
Use the 'list_time_offs' tool. It retrieves all scheduled vacations, sick leave, and holidays, giving you an immediate view of who is away from the office.
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.
