Can I see my team's vacation balances through my agent?

Yes. Use the `get_leave_balances` tool with a specific User ID. Your agent will retrieve the active leave balances representing vacation arrays globally, including different types of absences (e.g. Paid Leave, RTT) managed in Timmi.

How do I check the individual claims within an expense report?

The `list_expense_claims` tool allows your agent to extract absolute bounded individual claims for a specific Expense Report ID. You'll see precise dates, amounts, and native currency payloads for each item in the report.

Can my agent list all company departments defined in Lucca?

Absolutely. Use the `list_departments` tool to retrieve the strict hierarchical organizational units. Your agent will report the department names and their hierarchy, helping you understand the company's structural boundaries.

Lucca (HR & Finance Suite) + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Lucca (HR & Finance Suite) 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.
