FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I search for court cases involving a specific company?

Use the search_cases tool with a query like caseName:"Company Name". The agent will return a list of matching cases with their UniCourt IDs and basic details.

Can the AI automatically track a case for new updates?

Yes! By using the track_case tool with a specific caseId, you can set up automated monitoring. You can even specify a refreshWindow like '1d' for daily updates.

Is it possible to get professional background data for an attorney?

Absolutely. Use search_norm_attorney to find the attorney and then get_norm_attorney with their ID to retrieve detailed analytics and professional history.

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.
