Frequently asked questions
Can I see all the questions in a survey via AI?
Yes! Use the get_survey_questions tool and provide the Survey ID. Your agent will retrieve the complete structure, including labels and field types.
How do I list all the contacts stored in my account?
Run the list_crm_contacts query. The agent will retrieve a list of all audience members stored in your SurveySparrow account.
Is it possible to see the status of survey responses (started vs completed)?
Absolutely. Use the list_survey_responses tool and provide the Survey ID. You can pass the optional state parameter to filter by completion status.
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.
