Frequently asked questions
Where do I find my User API Key?
In New Relic, go to the account dropdown > API keys. Look for a key of type 'USER'. This is required for NerdGraph access.
Can I run any NRQL query through this server?
Yes! Use the run_nrql tool and provide your Account ID and the query string. This allows for extremely flexible data retrieval.
What are APM golden metrics?
Golden metrics are the most critical performance indicators for an application: Response Time, Throughput, Error Rate, and Apdex (user satisfaction).
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.
