How do I find my Holded API Key?

Log in to your Holded account, click on the **Settings** icon (top right), go to **Developers**, and you will find your unique **API Key** listed there. You can create multiple keys for different integrations.

What document types are supported in the invoicing tools?

This integration currently focuses on the `invoice` document type. For other types like sales orders or purchase orders, you can use the generic `list_invoices` logic if they are mapped under the same module in your instance.

Can I update stock levels through this integration?

Yes! Use the `update_product_stock` tool. You must provide the product ID and a JSON string containing the warehouse ID and the new quantity to update your inventory.

Is the integration secure for ERP data?

Absolutely. The integration uses official Holded API keys in the request header over HTTPS. Your credentials and business data are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.

Holded + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Holded 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.
