Can I see the signed PDF of an invoice through my agent?

Yes. Use the `get_invoice` tool with a specific Invoice ID. Your agent will return all document details along with a permalink to the signed PDF, allowing you to view or share the official fiscal document instantly.

How do I find a client by their company name?

The `find_client` tool allows you to search for a client directly by their business name. This is perfect for locating a client profile when you don't have their numerical ID handy.

Can I list the VAT rates available in my account?

Absolutely. Use the `list_taxes` tool to enumerate all VAT rates and exemptions configured in your InvoiceXpress account. Your agent will show the official AT mapping, which is essential before creating new items or invoices.

InvoiceXpress (Online Invoicing) + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating InvoiceXpress (Online Invoicing) 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.
