Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Heap App ID and API Key?
Log in to Heap, go to Account > Projects, and select your project. Your App ID will be visible there. For the API Key, navigate to the API section in your project settings to generate a server-side key.
Can I track events server-side through this integration?
Yes! Use the track_event tool. You provide the user identity, event name, and optional properties. This is perfect for capturing actions that happen outside the client browser.
How do I update user properties in bulk?
Use the bulk_add_user_properties tool. You must provide a JSON array containing objects with identity and properties for each user you wish to update.
Is the data deletion tool permanent?
Yes. The delete_user_data tool triggers a permanent deletion of the user identity and all historical data from Heap, helping you comply with GDPR and CCPA requests.
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.
