Can I check if a specific bill has been paid?

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

How do I create a new payment collection?

Simply ask the agent to `create_collection` and provide a title. It will create the collection in your Billplz account and return the new Collection ID.

Can I see the list of FPX banks supported for online banking?

Yes. Use the `get_fpx_banks` tool to retrieve a real-time list of all banks currently supported by the Billplz FPX gateway.

Billplz + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Billplz 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.
