Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically create a ZATCA-compliant VAT invoice for a customer?
Yes! Use the create_vat_invoice tool. Provide the client details and item list, and your agent will generate a compliant ZATCA Phase 2 invoice instantly.
How do I check the stock level for a specific item in Simple Fatoora?
Simply ask the agent to run the list_items action. It will retrieve the current inventory catalog, including stock counts and pricing for all items.
How do I find my Simple Fatoora API Key?
Log in to your Simple Fatoora dashboard, navigate to Settings > API Integration, and you will find your unique secret API Key there.
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.
