How do I update a vehicle's odometer reading using the agent?

You can use the 'create_meter_entry' tool. Simply provide the Vehicle ID and the new meter value. The agent will record the entry in Fleetio immediately, which helps keeping maintenance schedules accurate.

Can I see upcoming service reminders for my entire fleet?

Yes! The 'list_service_reminders' tool retrieves all active maintenance reminders. You can ask your agent to sort these by date or priority to identify which vehicles need attention next.

What format should I use for reporting a new vehicle issue?

Use the 'create_issue' tool by providing the Vehicle ID and a summary of the problem. You can also add an optional detailed description to give technicians more context about the reported fault.

About Fleetio MCP Server

Connect your Fleetio account to any AI agent and automate your fleet management workflows through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Fleetio provides a centralized platform for tracking vehicle data, maintenance schedules, fuel consumption, and compliance. Now, you can monitor your fleet operations directly through natural conversation.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Fleetio data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 12 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

What you can do

Vehicle Management — List all vehicles in your fleet, fetch detailed metadata including VIN and license plates, and retrieve specific vehicle profiles.
Maintenance Tracking — Monitor reported issues, list active work orders, and fetch upcoming service reminders to keep your fleet in top shape.
Meter & Data Entry — Record new odometer or hour meter readings and report new vehicle issues directly from the agent.
Fuel Monitoring — Retrieve historical fuel entries to track consumption and costs across your operations.
Directory Access — List organization contacts (drivers, managers) and vendors/service providers for better team and supplier context.
Real-time Monitoring — Fetch specific maintenance reminders or issue details to ensure operational safety and compliance.

Fleetio + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Fleetio 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.
