Frequently asked questions
Can I use this server with the Monnify Sandbox?
This implementation defaults to the live production URL. To use the sandbox, the underlying engine code would need to be updated to point to 'sandbox.monnify.com'.
What information is required to reserve a virtual account?
You need to provide a unique account reference, the account name to display, and the customer's full name and email address.
Are all Nigerian banks supported?
Most major commercial banks in Nigeria are supported. You can use the list_banks tool to see the current list of supported institutions for transfers and reservations.
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.
