Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Mercury API token?
Log in to your Mercury account at app.mercury.com. Go to Settings → API Tokens and click Create Token. Choose the token type (Read Only for balance checks, or Read and Write for managing recipients). Copy the token immediately — it will only be shown once. Paste it into the configuration field below, and you're ready. No code, no SDK, no webhooks.
Can my AI agent check my startup's runway instantly during a board meeting?
Absolutely. Just ask your AI agent 'What's my current balance across all Mercury accounts?' and it returns real-time balances for every account — checking, savings, and treasury — in seconds. No tab-switching, no logging in, no waiting for the dashboard to load.
What if I need to review recent transactions for month-end close?
Ask your AI agent to pull transactions from any date range. It retrieves each transaction with amount, counterparty, status, and date — perfect for reconciliation. You can filter by account, ask for Wire vs ACH breakdowns, or request only transactions above a specific threshold, all without exporting CSVs.
Is this suitable for companies with multiple Mercury accounts?
Yes. The integration retrieves data across all accounts linked to your API token — operating accounts, savings accounts, and treasury balances. Perfect for venture-backed startups managing multiple entities, holding companies, or finance teams tracking cash positions across subsidiaries.
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.
