 ## Standard input/output server

 ```sh
 go run cmd/server/main.go stdio
 go run cmd/github-mcp-server/main.go stdio
 ```

 E.g:

 ```

 ## Testing on VS Code Insiders

 First of all, install `github-mcp-server`  with:

 ```bash
 go install ./cmd/github-mcp-server
 ```

 Make sure you:

 1. Set your `GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN` environment variable and ensure VS Code has access to it.
 2. VS Code Insiders has access to the `github-mcp-server` binary

 Go to settings, find the MCP related settings, and set them to:

 ```json
 {
    "mcp": {
        "inputs": [],
        "servers": {
            "mcp-github-server": {
                "command": "path-to-your/github-mcp-server",
                "args": [
                    "stdio"
                ],
                "env": {}
            }
        }
    }
 }
 ```

 In `Copilot Edits`, you should now see an option to reload the available `tools`.
 Reload, and you should be good to go.

 Try something like the following prompt to verify that it works:

 ```
 I'd like to know more about my GitHub profile.
 ```
