FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I find my Helpshift API Key?

Log in to your Helpshift dashboard, go to Settings > API, and you will find your API Key listed there. This key is used as the username for Basic Authentication.

What is the 'Domain' in the setup?

The domain is the unique identifier for your Helpshift instance (e.g., if you access it at company.helpshift.com, your domain is company).

Can I see the history of actions taken on an issue?

Yes! Use the get_issue_audit_logs tool (v2). It retrieves the action history, showing when status was changed, who was assigned, and which tags were added.

Is the integration secure for support data?

Absolutely. The integration uses industry-standard Basic Authentication over HTTPS. Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.

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.
