How to Use the Alegra Alternative MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: Can VS Code Copilot read Alegra Alternative tax rates?

Yes. The agent uses the listtaxes command to pull your configured rates. It can then use those exact percentages to write tax calculation logic in your application.

Team-Wide Invoicing in VS Code Copilot

The `create_invoice` tool handles DIAN electronic invoice stamping and validation for your entire development group using this MCP integration. Any engineer can ask their agent to generate a test bill with specific line items. Checking the results takes seconds. The `list_invoices` and `get_invoice` commands pull the exact billing records straight into the editor. This means your team spends less time digging through API docs and more time shipping features.

Access Suppliers and Bills

The `create_contact` tool registers new entities using standard Colombian identification types like CC or CE. Your agent tags them as clients or suppliers right away. Managing payables is built right in. Commands like `list_bills` and `list_contacts` allow the AI to cross-reference what's owed against the legal names and addresses of your vendors.

Monitor Warehouses and Cash Flow

The `list_bank_accounts` tool gives your AI client direct MCP read access to your financial accounts. You can check balances right from the Copilot chat sidebar. Physical tracking is just as accessible. The `list_warehouses` and `list_items` commands let you query stock levels across different locations without ever opening a browser tab.
