Can I query a customer's active subscriptions?

Yes, by providing the customer ID or email, the agent can fetch all their active, past due, or canceled subscriptions.

How do I check if an invoice has been paid?

Simply ask the AI to check the status of a specific Invoice Number to see if it's paid, sent, or overdue.

Does it support creating new invoices?

Currently, the integration primarily focuses on securely retrieving and reporting financial data rather than generating new charges.

Zoho Billing + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Zoho Billing 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.
