Frequently asked questions
Where do I get my Todoist API Token?
You can locate your personal API Token securely via the web application by clicking your profile avatar, going to Settings, and selecting the Integrations tab. Your token will be visible at the bottom or in a dedicated Developer section. Alternatively, navigate directly to https://todoist.com/prefs/integrations.
Can the agent delete projects or workspaces?
No. The integration exclusively lists resources (projects, items, labels) and supports only basic item modifications: creating tasks and marking tasks as completed. Destructive actions on structural settings are not supported.
Can the agent organize my tasks using sub-projects or sections?
Yes. The Todoist integration allows the agent to retrieve project IDs and navigate into their specific sections. When creating a new task, you can explicitly ask the agent to place it within a specific section to keep your work neatly organized.
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.
