Frequently asked questions
Which exact service and endpoints does this utilize?
This integration leverages the highly structured Google People API. It strictly filters and returns core metadata (emails, names, numbers) avoiding unnecessary heavy payloads.
Can it automatically assign new prospects into specific mailing groups?
Certainly. The create_contact tool allows passing a specific Group Identifier (which you can discover using list_contact_groups). The user will instantly appear in the matching mailing segment.
What happens if I try to list a corporate directory with thousands of interconnected contacts?
The integration is protected by aggressive egress control pagination features out-of-the-box. Your AI agent handles paginated loops automatically and queries intelligent searches to restrict context overhead limits naturally.
Is it possible to manage shared domain profiles or only my personal Gmail connections?
Assuming you are logged in using a Google Workspace suite, the authorization supports cross-referencing domain contacts. Personal Gmail queries apply strict visibility bounding towards individual connections only.
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.
