Can I add notes to a customer's profile using this integration?

Yes! Use the `create_note` tool. You just need to provide the Customer ID and the text of the note. It will be instantly added to their profile for your technicians to see.

How do I filter unpaid invoices?

You can use the `list_invoices` tool and pass 'unpaid' (or the equivalent status parameter specified in GorillaDesk) to quickly retrieve a list of outstanding balances.

Can I check the schedules for specific field technicians?

Absolutely. By utilizing the schedule-checking tool with a technician's name or ID, the agent retrieves their complete run-sheet for the requested day.

GorillaDesk + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating GorillaDesk 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.
