Frequently asked questions
Can my agent list all candidates for a specific job in Greenhouse?
Yes. Use the 'list_candidates' tool with the 'job_id' parameter. The agent will fetch all candidates associated with that specific opening flawlessly.
How do I check the current hiring stage of an applicant via chat?
You can use the 'get_application' tool. Provide the Application ID, and the agent will return the full details, including the candidate's current stage in the hiring process natively.
Can I search for candidates who were added recently through the agent?
Absolutely. Use the 'list_candidates' tool with sorting or filtering parameters like 'created_after'. Your agent will retrieve the most recent additions to your Greenhouse database 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.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
