Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the phone number for a LinkedIn profile?
Yes! Use the get_person_by_linkedin tool. Provide the LinkedIn URL, and your agent will respond with complete metadata for the record, including verified emails and direct phone numbers in seconds.
How do I find my Lusha API Key?
Log in to your Lusha account, navigate to Settings > API & Integrations, and you will find your unique secret token there.
Does it support bulk enrichment?
Yes, use the bulk_enrich_person tool to provide an array of contacts. The AI will process the batch and return enriched metadata for all entries in a single operation.
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.
