Frequently asked questions
How do I securely obtain my Quip Access Token?
Sign in to your Quip account. Navigate to your API token generator page (usually at platform.quip.com or via Quip's Developer Settings). Generate a Personal Access Token, copy the string, and securely save it in the configuration fields below.
Can I provide a Quip document URL to my AI, or just the ID?
You can provide the standard URL. The agent is capable of recognizing the URL structure, extracting the alphanumeric thread_id, and performing the operation accurately.
Can it read embedded images or files inside the document?
The agent detects their existence by reading the raw structure and uses list_blobs to catalog attachments. However, downloading the actual files depends on your client's supported capabilities.
Is the edit operation destructive?
The edit_document function uses Quip's native append logic to add new HTML blocks at the end of the document, mitigating complete overwrites. Additionally, Quip maintains a full version history allowing rollbacks if necessary.
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.
