Frequently asked questions
How do I obtain a Tower Access Token?
Log in to your Tower account, go to the App Center, and generate a new Personal Access Token. Make sure to copy it immediately.
Can I see team discussions through this server?
Yes. Use the list_discussions tool with a project ID to retrieve the list of recent topics and discussions shared within that project.
Is it possible to manage multiple teams?
Yes. You can use list_teams to see all teams you are a part of and then use the team IDs to list members or access specific projects associated with those teams.
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.
