Self-Hosted GitHub MCP Server for VS Code Copilot

Comments (1)

MaxiComDev · 9h ago

I built (upon https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server/) a MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that integrates with VS Code's Copilot in Agent mode using SSE and GitHub APIs.

No client-side setup required — just add a .vscode/mcp.json config pointing to the server.

instructions: http://13.39.253.143 Uses a GitHub token (prompted by VS Code) No logs, no tracking Compatible with Copilot’s Agent Mode (Open Chat → switch to Agent)

Project was mostly to understand how MCP works and how Copilot Agent interacts with external context providers.
