Frequently asked questions
Can I manage tickets and reply to customers through the AI agent?
Yes. List tickets with filters, inspect individual tickets with full history, create new tickets, update status, and reply to customers or add internal notes.
Does Jitbit require a self-hosted URL?
Yes. Jitbit can be self-hosted or cloud-hosted. Provide your instance URL (e.g., https://helpdesk.company.com), username, and password. Authentication uses HTTP Basic Auth (Base64 encoded) against {url}/api.
Can I track SLA compliance across tickets?
Yes. Tickets include response and resolution time metadata. Monitor SLA compliance by checking time-to-first-response and time-to-resolution against your SLA targets.
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.
