Frequently asked questions
How do I connect my FreeAgent account?
This server uses OAuth 2.0. Simply click 'Connect' in the Vinkius interface, and you will be redirected to FreeAgent to authorize the integration.
Can I see my actual bank transactions using the agent?
Yes! The 'list_bank_transactions' tool allows you to retrieve the history for any configured bank account in your FreeAgent profile.
How do I filter for overdue invoices?
Use the 'list_invoices' tool and set the 'nested_state' parameter to 'Overdue'. The agent will return a list of all clients with outstanding payments.
Is Profit and Loss data available?
Yes, the 'get_profit_and_loss' tool provides a summary report for any specified date range, helping you track your business health.
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.
