Remote GitHub MCP Server 🚀

With this release we document how to use our new hosted server!

The remote GitHub MCP Server is hosted by GitHub and provides the easiest method for getting up and running. If your MCP host does not support remote MCP servers, don't worry! You can use thelocal version of the GitHub MCP Server instead.

Prerequisites

An MCP host that supports the latest MCP specification and remote servers, such asVS Code.

Installation

Usage with VS Code

For quick installation, use one of the one-click install buttons above. Once you complete that flow, toggle Agent mode (located by the Copilot Chat text input) and the server will start.

Usage in other MCP Hosts

For MCP Hosts that have beenconfigured to use the remote GitHub MCP Server, add the following JSON block to the host's configuration:

{"mcp": {"servers": {"github": {"type":"http","url":"https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/"      }    }  }}

Note: The exact configuration format may vary by host. Refer to your host's documentation for the correct syntax and location for remote MCP server setup.
