Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the details for a specific prospect by their ID?
Yes! Use the get_prospect tool with the Prospect ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata for the record, including custom fields, sequence history, and owner info in seconds.
How do I find my Outreach.io OAuth2 Access Token?
Log in to your Outreach Developer Portal, create a new App, and use the provided client credentials to perform the OAuth 2.0 flow to obtain a secret access token.
Does this work with the Outreach API v2?
Yes, this MCP server is specifically built using the Outreach JSON:API v2 specification to ensure full compatibility with modern sales workflows.
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.
