Different layouts can be assigned to different profiles. Use when the user asks about form configuration or field arrangement.

Returns profile name, description, and whether it is the default. Profiles are permission sets controlling module access, field-level visibility, and feature availability (e.g., Administrator, Standard, Marketing).

List Zoho CRM profiles (permission sets) that control what features, modules, and actions users can access
Returns role name, reporting role (parent in the hierarchy), and description. Roles control data visibility — users can see records of their subordinate roles. Use to understand the organizational hierarchy, access control structure, or when the user asks about role assignments. List all roles in Zoho CRM with their hierarchy structure, showing who reports to whom in the organization
Returns tag name, color, and creator. Tags are user-defined labels for quick categorization and filtering of records (e.g., "VIP", "Urgent", "Follow-up Required"). Use when the user asks about available tags, wants to understand how records are categorized, or needs tag names for filtering. List all tags available for a Zoho CRM module for record categorization and quick filtering
Returns territory name, manager, parent territory, and description. Territories organize the sales team by geography, product line, or customer segment (e.g., "North America", "Enterprise", "EMEA"). Records can be assigned to territories for routing and reporting. Use when the user asks about sales territories or geographic coverage. List sales territories in Zoho CRM with territory names, managers, and hierarchy for geographic/segment-based sales organization
Returns user name, email, role, profile (permission set), active/inactive status, and timezone. Filter by type: AllUsers, ActiveUsers, DeactiveUsers, AdminUsers. Use when the user asks about team members, needs user IDs for record assignment, or wants to audit CRM access.

Frequently asked questions
What Zoho CRM data can I access?
Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Notes, and any custom module. All data respects your Zoho CRM permissions.
How does authentication work?
Uses Zoho OAuth 2.0 with a refresh token. Create a Self Client in the Zoho API Console, generate a refresh token, and provide Client ID, Client Secret, and Refresh Token.
Does it support multi-region Zoho?
Yes! Set your API domain: zohoapis.com (US), zohoapis.eu (EU), zohoapis.in (India), zohoapis.com.au (Australia), zohoapis.jp (Japan).
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.
