Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the details for a specific person by their email?
Yes! Use the get_person tool with the Person ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata for the record, including custom fields, account status, and activity history in seconds.
How do I find my Outseta API Key and Secret?
Log in to your Outseta dashboard, navigate to Settings > Integrations > API Keys, and click 'Add API Key'. You will receive both an API Key and a Secret Key.
What is the subdomain?
The subdomain is the unique prefix of your Outseta URL (e.g., if you log in at my-startup.outseta.com, the subdomain is my-startup).
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.
