Frequently asked questions
Can I see the full profile of a CRM lead through the agent?
Yes. The get_lead_details tool allows your AI agent to retrieve the comprehensive metadata for any specific lead ID, including contact information, lead source, and custom fields recorded in Zoho CRM.
How do I monitor active deals and their pipeline stages via chat?
Use the list_crm_deals tool to retrieve a list of all opportunities. You can then use get_deal_details to see the current stage, closing date, and expected revenue for a specific transaction ID.
Is it possible to see my daily assigned tasks in Zoho CRM?
Absolutely. The list_crm_tasks tool retrieves all active tasks assigned in your account, helping you audit your daily priorities and sales productivity directly through conversation.
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.
