Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Portal ID?
Use the list_portals tool to retrieve all portals you have access to along with their unique IDs.
Which Data Center domains are supported?
You can use any Zoho Data Center domain such as zoho.com (US), zoho.eu (Europe), zoho.in (India), zoho.com.au (Australia), or zoho.jp (Japan).
Can I update a task name without sending all other fields?
Yes, the update_task tool uses the V3 PATCH method, allowing you to perform partial updates by only providing the fields you want to change.
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.
