Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Relay API Key?
Log in to your Relay account, navigate to Settings > API Keys, and generate a new key.
Can I pass inputs to a workflow?
Yes! Use the run_workflow action with a JSON object of input variables that match your workflow's input schema.
Can I cancel an active workflow run?
Yes! Use the cancel_run action with the run ID. This only works on runs that are currently in progress.
Can I view the required inputs for a specific workflow?
Yes! Use the get_workflow action to see its required input schema before running it.
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.
