How do I get D365 F&O API credentials?

You must register an application in the **Azure Portal (App registrations)**, obtain a Client ID, Secret, and Tenant ID, and then register that Client ID in the **Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance** instance under **System administration > Microsoft Entra ID applications**.

Can the agent post ledger journals?

This integration currently focuses on listing and auditing records via the OData API. Posting journals or triggering complex business logic should be managed via the D365 F&O client or specific custom service endpoints.

Does the integration support multiple legal entities?

Yes, the agent can retrieve data from any legal entity exposed via your environment URL and authorized for your Azure AD application user.

Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations 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.
