Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the details for a specific project just by providing its ID?
Yes! Use the get_project tool. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, including project health, custom fields, and member roles in seconds.
How do I list all tasks for a particular Rocketlane project?
Simply ask the agent to run the list_tasks action with the projectId. It will retrieve the full task board for that specific environment.
How do I find my Rocketlane API Key?
Log in to Rocketlane, click your profile icon > Settings > Advanced > API Keys, and generate your unique key there.
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.
