Frequently asked questions
How can I see all the internal tools currently built in my organization?
You can use the list_applications tool. It retrieves a paginated list of all Superblocks applications, allowing your AI to browse through your entire internal tool library.
Is it possible to generate a login token for a user to view an embedded app?
Yes, the create_embed_token tool is designed specifically for this. Provide the user's email and optional metadata to receive a secure session token for Embedded Apps.
Can I check the status of my backend workflows and scheduled jobs?
Absolutely. Use the list_workflows tool to get a full inventory of all workflows in your organization, which helps in monitoring your automated processes.
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.
