Frequently asked questions
Where do I find my Project ID?
You can find your Project ID in PostHog under Project Settings. It is a numeric ID usually found at the top of the settings page.
Does this support PostHog EU instances?
Yes! Use the optional POSTHOG_HOST credential and set it to https://eu.posthog.com. By default, it uses the US host (https://app.posthog.com).
Can I see individual user properties?
Absolutely. Use the get_person tool with a Person ID to retrieve all properties, tags, and identification metadata for a specific user.
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.
