Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Harness API Key?
Log in to Harness, go to My Profile (bottom left), and select API Keys. You can generate either a Personal API Key or use a Service Account Token from there.
Where can I find my Account ID and Org ID?
The Account ID is visible in your browser's URL when logged in (e.g., account/XYZ123). The Organization ID is typically found in the project settings or sidebar (default is often 'default').
Can I trigger a pipeline execution via this integration?
Yes! Use the execute_pipeline tool by providing the project ID and pipeline ID. Harness will initiate the workflow immediately.
Is the integration secure for managing secrets?
Absolutely. The integration only lists the metadata of your secrets (like names and identifiers) through your API key. Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely in the Vinkius Cloud.
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.
