Frequently asked questions
How do I verify a bank account using micro-deposits?
Use the verify_micro_deposits tool by providing the Funding Source ID and the two deposit amounts. This ensures the bank account is active and owned by the customer.
Can I create a new customer directly through the AI?
Yes! Use the create_customer tool with a JSON payload containing the customer's details like firstName, lastName, and email.
How can I see the history of transfers for my organization?
You can use the list_account_transfers tool with your Account ID to retrieve all recent and past fund movements associated with your Dwolla account.
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.
