Frequently asked questions
How do I get started?
Subscribe, copy your active API Token (which you generate inside Forge Dashboard → API), and connect it. The integration expects standard connections so you can trigger real build routines natively without intricate pipelines or ssh logic.
Can my AI automatically trigger site deployments?
Yes! Give the agent the Server ID and Site ID you're questioning. It utilizes deploy_site to physically POST to Forge's pipelines kicking off an automated release. Perfect for hands-free releases right from Cursor.
What happens when I want to fetch metrics on queued application workers?
Provide the exact IDs. The tool evaluates endpoint rules (list_workers) and unpacks default configurations running PHP queues natively back to the terminal screen.
Does it list physical server setups efficiently?
Absolutely. Execute 'list_servers' or probe 'list_ssh_keys'. It aggregates root connection statuses, IPs, and structural records giving immense monitoring peace-of-mind at the keyboard.
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.
