Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the details for a specific item by its ID?
Yes! Use the get_item_details tool (via queries). Your agent will respond with complete metadata for the record, including column values and update history in seconds.
How do I find my Monday.com API Token?
Log in to your Monday.com account, click on your Avatar (bottom left), navigate to Developers, and you will find your unique secret token under the API section.
Does this work with private boards?
Yes, provided the API token used has the necessary permissions and access to those boards within your Monday.com workspace.
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.
