Frequently asked questions
Can my agent get direct AI answers based on my company's data via Glean?
Yes. Use the 'get_answer' tool. It fires Glean's internal RAG mechanisms to retrieve a pure AI-generated response distilled from your indexed company knowledge flawlessly.
How do I search for experts in my company by their skills via chat?
Use the 'search_people' tool. The agent will retrieve information from your corporate active directory, matching user profiles, skills, and names to help you find the right colleague natively.
Can I index my own custom documents in Glean through the agent?
Absolutely. Use the 'index_document' tool. Provide a JSON object defining the ID, Title, and text content. The agent will route the payload into Glean's search logic synchronously.
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.
