Can I preview how much a customer will be charged before updating their subscription?

Yes. The `preview_subscription` tool simulates a run of the billing engine for a specific subscription ID. Your AI agent will return the projected charges and billing dates without committing any actual changes to the account.

How do I see the invoice history for a specific billing account?

You can use the `get_invoices` tool. Provide the unique Zuora account ID or number, and your agent will retrieve a list of all invoices generated for that customer, helping you audit their billing history.

Is it possible to update a customer's billing contact info via chat?

Absolutely. Using the `update_account` tool, you can provide a JSON payload with updated fields (e.g., billing email or address) for a specific account ID, and your agent will apply the changes in Zuora instantly.

Zuora + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Zuora 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.
