FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I get an API Key for Gem?

Team Admins can generate API keys in the Team Settings dashboard of the Gem web application.

Can I search for candidates across all projects?

Yes, the 'list_candidates' tool retrieves a global list of candidates, which you can then narrow down using IDs or details.

Is it possible to log interview notes via the agent?

Yes! Use the 'add_candidate_note' tool and provide the Candidate ID and your text to instantly update their record in the CRM.

How do I see which sequences a candidate is in?

The 'get_candidate_details' tool retrieves the full metadata payload, which includes information about outreach and automated messaging state.

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.
