FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can my AI agent create new pages from specific templates?

Yes. Ask the agent to list your content templates to find the ID of the template you want (e.g., 'Article' or 'Landing Page'). Then, provide the parent path where you want the new items to exist. Your agent will call the Sitecore API to instantly generate the new items based on those schemas without requiring you to open the Content Editor.

How can I bulk update metadata for outdated pages?

First, ask your agent to search for the specific path or keyword to get all related page IDs. Then, command the agent to update each item by passing a JSON with the new fields (like updating SEO descriptions or valid dates). The AI parses your instruction and dynamically executes the updates directly into Sitecore.

Is it possible to check whether an item is published or still in Draft mode?

Absolutely. You can request the agent to get the workflow state of any given item path. The agent will respond with the current state (e.g., Draft, Awaiting Approval, or Published), making it easy to track content pipelines.

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.
