Frequently asked questions
Can I run custom SOQL queries?
Yes! The soql_query tool accepts any valid SOQL string. Example: SELECT Id, Name, Amount FROM Opportunity WHERE StageName = 'Closed Won' LIMIT 20.
Can I create records in any object?
Yes! Use create_record with the SObject type (Account, Contact, Lead, etc.) and a JSON string of fields.
How do I search across all Salesforce data?
Use global_search with your search text. It uses SOSL to find matches across Accounts, Contacts, Leads, and all other objects simultaneously.
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.
