Can I check the status of a specific bill using the agent?

Yes! Use the `get_bill` tool with the Bill ID. Your agent will fetch the latest status, including whether it is unpaid, partially paid, or fully paid.

How do I list all my active vendors in BILL?

Simply ask the agent to `list_vendors`. It will retrieve the directory of all business vendors registered in your BILL account.

Does the integration support paying bills directly through the agent?

No. For security and to comply with MFA requirements for financial transactions, the current toolset is focused on querying and auditing (listing bills, checking statuses). Initiating payments must be done through the official BILL platform.

BILL (Bill.com) + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating BILL (Bill.com) 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.
