FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I see the full context of a bug report through my agent?

Yes. Use the get_issue_details tool with a specific Issue ID or UUID. Your agent will retrieve the full description, assigned labels, and current status, helping you understand the technical requirements instantly.

How do I check the progress of the current sprint cycle?

The list_sprint_cycles tool allows your agent to retrieve current iteration boundaries and temporal limits. You can see which cycles are active and how many issues are assigned to each team grouping.

Can my agent list all members of a specific team in Linear?

Absolutely. Use the list_workspace_members tool to identify registered users. Your agent will return precise organizational mappings and IDs, making it easy to route assignment requests through natural conversation.

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.
