Frequently asked questions
Can I create a new customer record through my agent?
Yes. Use the create_contact tool by providing the company name, contact person, and email. Your agent will format the data according to Lexware Office standards and assign the correct role ('customer' or 'vendor') instantly.
How do I check the payment status of an invoice?
The get_invoice tool retrieves the complete document structure, including the current status (e.g., 'paid', 'open', or 'overdue'). Your agent can summarize these details for you directly in the conversation.
Can my agent list all accounting categories available in my account?
Absolutely. Use the list_posting_categories tool to retrieve the defined chart of accounts. This is essential for understanding how revenues and expenses are mapped to your financial reports and DATEV exports.
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.
