Frequently asked questions
How do I get an API Key for Freshdesk?
Log in to your Freshdesk instance, click on your profile picture in the top-right, and select 'Profile Settings' to find your API Key.
What is my 'Domain prefix'?
Your domain prefix is the first part of your Freshdesk URL (e.g. if your URL is 'acme.freshdesk.com', the prefix is 'acme').
Can I see private notes on a ticket?
Yes, the 'list_ticket_thread' tool retrieves all interactions associated with a ticket, including public replies and private notes for full agent context.
Is it possible to filter tickets by status?
Yes, the 'list_tickets' tool accepts an optional 'filter' parameter (e.g., 'open', 'pending') to help you focus on specific sets of requests.
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.
