Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Google Classroom access token?
Go to Google Cloud Console, enable the Google Classroom API, create OAuth 2.0 credentials, and generate an access token with scopes: classroom.courses, classroom.rosters, classroom.profile. Use Google's OAuth Playground for quick testing.
Can I create and grade assignments?
Yes! Use create_course_work to create assignments with due dates and max points. Use list_submissions to see who turned in work, then get_submission to review individual student work. After grading, use return_submission to send it back to the student.
Can I manage student enrollment?
This MCP focuses on read-only operations for safety: listing students/teachers, viewing assignments, and tracking submissions. To add/remove students, use the Google Classroom web interface directly.
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.
