Frequently asked questions
Can I see all current leave requests via AI?
Yes! Use the list_leave_requests tool. Your agent will retrieve the complete list of absences and leave applications for your organization.
How do I retrieve the details for a specific employee?
Run the get_employee_details query and provide the Employee ID. The agent will retrieve the full profile metadata from Talexio.
Is it possible to list active job openings via AI?
Absolutely. Use the list_job_openings tool. The agent will retrieve all current recruitment vacancies configured in your Talexio account.
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.
