Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Daftra API Key?
Log in to your account, navigate to Settings > API > API Keys, and click Add to generate a new key.
What is the subdomain in Daftra?
The subdomain is the part of your Daftra URL before '.daftra.com'. For example, if you access at acme.daftra.com, your subdomain is acme.
Can I create invoices with multiple items?
Yes! The create_invoice tool accepts a JSON array of items, allowing you to specify names, unit prices, and quantities for each line.
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.
