Frequently asked questions
How do I get started?
Subscribe, enter your API credentials (your generated Hubstaff PAT via User Settings → Personal access tokens), and you're set. No code, no environment files, no postbacks — just connect and audit team activity with natural text.
Can my AI check a single associate's daily activities quickly?
Yes! Direct your prompt to fetch all logged daily activities (or activities specifically). The agent will query Hubstaff, breaking down the tracking records and formatting them directly so you won't need to manually click through web portals.
How easy is it to gather organization and project specifics?
It essentially takes seconds explicitly asking 'List my organizations and projects.' The list_projects functionality traverses your environment returning the IDs you need to inspect underlying items.
Is the agent suited to handle multiple large organizational hubs at once?
Yes! Due to targeted parameter queries (e.g., retrieving timesheets by target organization), HR firms and agencies scaling hundreds of contractors can extract clean textual aggregations pain-free via simple prompts.
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.
