FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can my agent retrieve the AI summary of a specific Grain recording?

Yes. Use the 'get_insights' tool. The agent will fetch high-level abstract reductions including sentiment mapping, key discussion points, and summaries generated by Grain's ML engines natively.

How do I extract follow-up tasks from a meeting via chat?

Use the 'get_action_items' tool. Your agent will filter targeted follow-up tasks detected automatically by Grain within the meeting scope, enabling you to automate your post-call workflows flawlessly.

Can I search for meetings where a specific client was discussed through the agent?

Absolutely. Use the 'search_recordings' tool. Provide the keyword (e.g., client name). The agent will perform keyword scanning across all your meeting history and return ranked results natively.

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.
