Can I check the payment status of an invoice using the agent?

Yes! Use the `get_invoice` tool with the Invoice ID. Your agent will fetch the latest status, showing if it is draft, issued, or paid.

How do I list all my customers in Bexio?

Simply ask the agent to `list_contacts`. It will retrieve the directory of all companies and persons registered in your Bexio account.

Does the integration allow me to create a new invoice?

Currently, the toolset is focused on querying and management (listing contacts, checking projects, auditing invoices). For creating complex financial documents like invoices with multiple line items, we recommend using the Bexio platform directly.

Bexio + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Bexio MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

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.
