Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent issue a DIAN-compliant electronic invoice for Colombia?
Yes! Use the create_invoice tool with the client ID, line items, and dates. Alegra automatically handles DIAN electronic validation and stamping for Colombian tax compliance. The invoice number sequence is managed by Alegra's configured resolution.
How do I look up a client's outstanding balance and contact details?
Use the get_contact tool with the client's Alegra ID. You'll receive their complete profile including legal name, NIT or CC number, fiscal regime, address, phone, email, and any outstanding receivable balance.
Can I manage inventory across multiple warehouses through my AI agent?
Yes. Use list_warehouses to see all your configured locations, then use list_items to browse your catalog with stock levels per warehouse. You can also create new items with create_item specifying their type (product or service) and pricing.
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.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
