FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I filter results to find specific documents in a collection?

You can use the find_many tool and provide a JSON string in the where parameter. This follows Payload's standard query syntax, allowing you to filter by fields, operators (like equals, contains), and nested logic.

Can I control how much related data is returned in a query?

Yes! Most query tools like find_many, find_by_id, and get_global include a depth parameter. Increasing this number will populate more levels of nested relationships.

Does this server support updating global settings like site headers?

Absolutely. Use the get_global tool to retrieve current data and update_global to modify it. This is perfect for managing site-wide configurations without leaving your AI assistant.

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.
