Frequently asked questions
Can the AI automatically log time for a specific project?
Yes! Use the create_timesheet tool. You'll need to provide the ProjectID, PersonID, and the duration to instantly log work hours in your Avaza account.
How do I update the status of a task through the AI?
Simply ask the agent to run the update_task tool with the TaskID. You can modify the title, description, or status to reflect the current progress of your work.
Does this integration allow for auditing recent customer invoices?
Yes. The list_invoices tool provides a clear overview of recent billing, helping you track payment statuses and financial health across your projects.
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.
