First, I started with version 1.0, and the GitHub MCP server is easily one of the best extensions to Copilot (whether MCP or VS Code extension or whatever).

Second, I'm not complaining: I need more information or more understanding.

The GitHub MCP fills a real need for me: I have multiple repos, I'm not an expert in GitHub (and I despise the git app), and I can now accomplish a lot more than I could without it.

However, by using Docker, we have shifted some "costs" from needs-to-know GitHub to needs-to-know Docker. I have installed and uninstalled Docker at least 20 times in the last year as I tried different containerized apps. To use GitHub MCP, I installed Docker--again. My point: I know Docker less than I know GitHub, and I don't have any incentive to learn Docker: it has repeatedly demonstrated to me that, frankly, the concept of Docker is lame.

So, I went looking for an MCP server for Docker: GitHub MCP is good, so the official Docker MCP server will be good too, right? Docker has (yet another) list of MCP servers, but doesn't have an MCP server. They have a beta LLM that must be based on ChatGPT 3.5 or older.

idk, how about a one-click button for updating GitHub MCP in VS Code or automatic updating or the GitHub MCP has a command to update itself?
