MCP

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open-source standard for connecting AI applications to external systems.

Connect models to the real world: MCP Registry

with GitHub Copilot

The GitHub MCP Server connects AI tools directly to GitHub's platform. This gives AI agents, assistants, and chatbots the ability to read repositories and code files, manage issues and PRs, analyze code, and automate workflows. All through natural language interactions.

      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/"

In the .vscode/mcp.json file, click the Start button and accept the prompt to authenticate with GitHub. This has just informed GitHub Copilot of the MCP server's capabilities.
