Frequently asked questions
Can my agent list all bank accounts for a specific organization in Griffin?
Yes. Use the 'list_accounts' tool with the 'organizationId' parameter. The agent will fetch all bank accounts associated with that organization flawlessly.
How do I check the status of a KYC/KYB verification via chat?
You can use the 'get_verification' tool. Provide the Verification ID, and the agent will return the full details, including the current status and decision of the verification natively.
Can I trigger an internal money transfer between accounts through the agent?
Absolutely. Use the 'create_internal_transfer' tool. By passing the amount and account IDs, your agent will programmatically trigger the transfer within Griffin's secure infrastructure flawlessly.
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.
