Frequently asked questions
How do I move a candidate to a specific stage?
Use the update_opportunity_stage tool with the unique opportunity ID and the target stage ID. You can find stage IDs using the list_hiring_stages tool.
Can I archive an application via the agent?
Yes, use the archive_hiring_opportunity tool. You will need to provide the opportunity ID and a valid archive reason ID.
Is it possible to see a candidate's contact information?
Absolutely. Use the get_candidate_profile tool with the candidate's unique ID to retrieve their full profile, including email, phone, and links.
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.
