Frequently asked questions
Can I see if a client has opened my proposal using the agent?
Yes! Use the get_proposal tool with the Proposal ID. Your agent will fetch the latest status, which includes whether the proposal has been viewed, signed, or paid.
How do I list all my saved proposal templates?
Simply ask the agent to list_templates. It will retrieve all the proposal templates available in your account for you to review and use.
Does the integration allow me to create a new contact?
Yes! Use the create_contact action with the name and email. Your agent will register the new contact in your Better Proposals CRM instantly.
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.
