Frequently asked questions
How can my AI generate ZATCA-compliant invoices?
Simply use the create_invoice tool. Your agent can instantly generate six types of invoices (including B2C and B2B), all fully compliant with ZATCA Phase 2, complete with QR codes, UUIDs, and cryptographic stamps.
Is it possible to programmatically access my client list and VAT numbers?
Yes. By executing the list_customers action, your AI agent can retrieve your entire client registry, including tax identification numbers, addresses, and contact details for seamless CRM integration.
Can I automatically issue credit notes for partial returns?
Absolutely. Ask the agent to use the create_credit_note tool. It will safely generate a ZATCA-compliant credit note linked to the original invoice, adjusting the accounting records automatically.
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.
