Frequently asked questions
Can I create a new maintenance job for a property via AI?
Yes! Use the create_maintenance_job tool and provide a title and description. This will instantly register a new task in the Facility Management (FM) module.
How do I see all residents living in a specific property plan?
Run the list_property_occupants query. Your agent will retrieve the complete list of owners and residents across your managed property plans.
Is it possible to check the remaining budget for a building via AI?
Absolutely. Use the list_property_budgets query to retrieve the current budget definitions and allocations for your managed properties.
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.
