Whether you are auditing your personal spending, tracking budget goals, or managing daily finances, your agent acts as a dedicated financial assistant through natural conversation.

Frequently asked questions
Can I see how much I spent today?
Yes! Use the get_monzo_balance tool. The response includes a spend_today value that shows your total expenditures for the current day.
How do I find my Account ID?
First, call the get_monzo_accounts tool. It will return a list of all your accounts with their corresponding GIDs (IDs). Use these IDs for balance and transaction queries.
Is it safe to share my Monzo token?
Your token is encrypted at rest and only injected securely at runtime. Never share your token with unauthorized persons. We recommend using a limited-scope token if available.
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.
